Jo Jorgensen "Spoiler" Effect

Forums:

Assuming most of Jorgensen's voters would have otherwise gone to Trump, she had enough votes to swing Wisconsin and Michigan the other way had she not been on the ballot.

By comparison, Green Party was non-factor in this year's election.

Ranked choice voting is what we need to eliminate the "spoiler effect" and help break the two-party stranglehold on the system.  

Kanye got 6,000 votes in CO.

Ranked choice voting got shot down in Maine. I guess people like not having good candidates to choose from and would rather be forced to choose between two out of touch old perverts or their vote won't count. :( 

Its my understanding that ranked choice in Maine voting survived a legal challenge and was used in Tuesday's election:

If it works there (and in other places like Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia), should work for the rest of the country:

My mistake, I missed the update that that it had prevailed in the legal battle. Mea culpa!
