In this episode I’m joined by Vicki Ryder, the Co-Lead for outreach for Better Ballot NC, an organization dedicated to bringing Ranked Choice Voting to my homes state of North Carolina and partners with other organizations who are doing the same all over the US. We discuss the failures of our current winner take all voting system, how it leads to polarization and minority rule, and then we discuss what Ranked Choice Voting is and how it would solve these problems and more.
