Election Connection | Open vs Closed Primaries + Ranked Choice Voting | 8-1-23

Elizabeth Hawks, Coordinator for the League of Women Voters for Southern Kentucky and Mathew Ruberg, both of whom are founders and Board members of Rank the Vote Kentucky, join Victoria Strange, occasional co-host and Ruth to explain the different Primary voting methods used in different states and how well each type achieves the goal of representing voter preferences. They also delve deeply into Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), sometimes referred to as instant runoff voting, in which the winner must receive over 50% of the votes.
