Relevant sections of the report are behind a paywall? Curious how the “painted bike lanes” are differentiated - ie old school narrow bike lanes versus eliminating street parking on one side and adding a healthy bike lane margin?

Could be a bold step forward for Alaska…

Due in no small part to RCV’s breakage on Alaska’s first use, the suspicion of RCV in particular is quite high (bans in 11 states, a drubbing on the statewide measures, etc) Ranked Robin is arguably more intuitive for ranking - ie it’s like a round robin, and has the bonus of counting all the votes.

Any thoughts about working on an upgrade? RCV’s counting system breaks down when there are three or more competitive candidates in the race… seems like Alaska FWD could be a good champion for fixing it… See youtu.be/Y7xHB-av6Cc for an explainer of the problem and solutions.

Seems this thought exercise runs counter to the whole top 4 concept, no?

Laudable. Still thinking this whole concept ought be peer to peer in form…

Of course. The limit of a single choice in each election leads directly to the spoiler effect, which is a core problem.

The point of an equal vote is that multiple similar candidates should be able to compete on a level playing field and still have the outcome reflect the will of the voters overall. What you’re describing is what we have now with “choose only one” plurality voting and the spoiler effect.

Not sure how you get to that conclusion…

Voting method reform can be accomplished at the local and state level (crucibles of democracy and all that). Getting rid of vote splitting in the choice process is key… if you haven’t, give unfuckthevote.com a gander… feedback welcome!

Our system’s limit of only two viable parties is an unfortunate byproduct of the use of voting methods that feature vote-splitting. The “right” faces the same factionalization problem as well. Really think it’d be a good time to move to a method that doesn’t cement spiraling polarization.
