[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure this is actually being pushed by Republicans so they can have a chance to take over by confusing the lower information voters.[/quote] Is that what the DC Democratic Party is telling you? If anything, RCV will favor moderate, non-incumbent candidates and make the DC Council less of a punching bag for congressional Republicans. RCV is not something that is going to help Republicans one iota. Low information voters are free to vote in RCV. If they want to vote for a single candidate rather than ranking their preferences, then their vote for that one candidate will be counted. That RCV may encourage some low information voters to learn a bit more about the candidates vying for their vote is unambiguously beneficial to democracy in DC.[/quote]
