[Lwvcnmtopics] Zoom Presentation and discussion tomorrow at 1:30 on Ranked Choice Voting

[kwentworth17 at comcast.net]

If you are thinking about the Zoom meeting on ranked choice voting tomorrow
afternoon at 1:30 p.m., here's some more information. Two cities in NM
already do ranked choice voting, Las Cruces and Santa Fe. Is this something
that sounds right for Albuquerque? We'll have a chance to learn how it works
and to discuss.

 

Jeanne Logsdon found this information for us.

Rank Deficiency? Analyzing the Costs and Benefits of Single-Winner
Ranked-Choice Voting

 

Abstract:  In the past decade, debate around the effects of the instant
runoff voting (IRV) has intensified, as proponents seek to build upon a
victory in Maine to expand its use to more states. However, there has relied
on unsubstantiated claims from both sides, as it has only been used in a
single statewide election. This lack of information around IRV is compounded
by the fact that relatively little work has been done around the behavioral
impacts of IRV in a multiparty setting, with most of the elections happening
in cities that lean strongly Democrat. This study seeks to better understand
this reform by being the first to holistically analyze both the micro-level
and macro-level impacts of IRV. In doing so, I find strong experimental and
observational evidence to suggest that the negative impacts of IRV outweigh
any positive effects, and that elite-led opinion may serve as a mitigating
factor.

 

Our presenter will be Mario Jimenez from Common Cause. He is also the former
deputy Dona Ana County Clerk and has actual experience with this process.

 

Here is the Zoom invitation.
