The Democratic Primary for New York City Mayor was held via “Ranked Choice Voting” (RCV) for the first time

The Democratic Primary for New York City Mayor was held via “Ranked Choice Voting” (RCV) for the first time. San Francisco has been using RCV since 2002. For this week’s discussion, I want you to take a closer look at Ranked Choice Voting. After getting familiar with the system, imagine there is an upcoming ballot measure that would establish RCV for all California elections. Would you vote to change to this new kind of system, or stick with the “first past the post” system we have now? You will obviously need to demonstrate your understanding of the difference between RCV and the current system as necessary to support or illustrate your key points.
