Ranked Choice Voting establishes consensus thresholds for victory and rewards candidates that build broad coalitions of support!

What if we had six parties instead of two? What if you could vote your conscious in every election, instead of constantly compromising yourself in order to pull the lever for the lesser of two evils?

It’s time for better, fairer, more honest elections. Gerrymandering, single-winner districts, and plurality winners discourage competition and limit voters choices.
We can do so much better, but we have to tell our elected leaders that we want change!

And then, the vote was split! Unfortunately for New Yorkers, Ranked Choice Voting is only used for the Democratic Primary. Cuomo's candidacy is sure to fracture Democratic support in the General Election.
Will this decision backfire and result in a Republican winning with a minority of the vote?

In a system using Ranked Choice Voting and Proportional Representation, many parties are allowed to compete for the same voters without fear of splitting the vote.
Because of that, voters don’t have to settle for one of two parties that may not reflect their beliefs.

Ranked Choice Voting has produced a consensus winner from a crowded field. The campaigns were civil and substantive. The candidates worked together to advance common interests.
This is how elections should be. This is how they can be in Santa Clara County if we make our voices heard!
