An Instant Runoff Revision in NYC

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 30, 2018

Rob Richie, president and C.E.O. of FairVote, talks about his efforts to include "instant runoff voting" in the Mayor's Charter Revision Commission's recommendations.

#RankedChoiceVoting (or #InstantRunoffVoting), which was used statewide in Maine in June, addresses the spoiler problem and encourages candidates to understand better voters' priorities and what they want, says @Rob_Richie.

Co-chair of NYS Board of Elections Douglas Kellner calls in to support #RankedChoiceVoting, saying it would be an improvement in our voting system and would save money by eliminating run-off elections
