@nycvotes: Boss: How should we explain Ranked Choice Voting? Us: Legos. NYC's June 27 primary election is a Ranked Choice election! If City Council is on your ballot, you can rank your top five choices in order of preference instead of choosing just one. 💚Fun fact: We held a mini election in our office with these colors - green won! #HowTo #NYCPrimary #NYCPolitics #NYC

That is such a good way to explain it. I had no idea.

Ranked choice weakens the two party system, so it's really important that we do it.

I always ask when people promote ranked choice: what are your thoughts on Arrow’s impossibility theorem?

never thought of this until now - but what if EVERYONE voted red as choice #2? In this illustration, red is already eliminated but...

That doesn't seem like a prefect system either though. If a candidate gets 10% of the first place vote but 50% of the second place

Too bad this counting method fails Condorcet condition; still so much better than Plurality

oh! I thought they would just add up the point values for each ranking. this seems better but can someone smarter than me explain why?

I’ve been a huge proponent of RCV for years - this is by far the best explanation I’ve ever seen for how it works.

All I could think of is “You could stop at five or six stores or just one.” But seriously, this was a great explanation

I spent much of my time in college writing about RCV... As others have said this is legitimately the best example of it I've ever seen

I thought it was more your first vote was worth 5 pts 2-4, and so on. So it sort of weighs the votes.

What if a massive amount of people had red second but only 1 had them first so they get eliminated? Am I overthinking this?
