In a new @surveyusa.bsky.social ranked choice poll of Tuesday’s Maine primaries, Bobby Charles, Hannah Pingree, and Joe Baldacci lead their races. The poll also finds that voters take advantage of the ability to rank – 75% rank at least 2 candidates in the governor’s race. Learn more ⬇️ 🧵

Congratulations to @growdemocracydc.bsky.social and @campaignlegal.org on their legal victory defending voter-approved Ranked Choice Voting in the nation’s capital. Voters in Washington, DC are casting ballots in the city’s first Ranked Choice Voting primary ahead of Election Day.

Alaska is showing what happens when election systems reward coalition building instead of scorched earth politics. Ranked Choice Voting gives candidates a reason to earn broader support instead of just attacking opponents. Want to help bring that to Michigan? rankmivote.org/volunteer

California’s top-two primary system is once again creating fears of vote-splitting and “spoiler” candidates in the governor’s race. Voters are pressured to vote strategically, and candidates are pushed to drop out early. The answer isn’t fewer choices. It’s Ranked Choice Voting. buff.ly/6kkhxl0

Today, we’re hearing from Bill, Amanda, and Brad, just a few of the dedicated people working every day to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Michigan. Every volunteer has their own reason for supporting Ranked Choice Voting, but they all share one common goal: giving voters a stronger voice.

Congrats to @michiganmop.bsky.social on turning in petitions today to qualify for the November ballot. Grassroots volunteers across Michigan stepped up to advance another important democracy reform effort. We were proud to help support the push. More voice. More choice. More power for voters.

💬 Rank MI Vote is a cross-partisan movement. With Ranked Choice Voting, candidates build broader support, reach out to voters, and focus on how they can best represent their communities instead of relying on negative ads. That’s what makes this reform better for voters and healthier for democracy.

As our nation nears its 250th anniversary, this Memorial Day carries special meaning. Today we honor the brave Americans who gave their lives defending our freedoms and democratic ideals. We remember their sacrifice by continuing the work of strengthening democracy and voter voice.

Last month at the Democratic Party Nominating Convention, we met even more passionate volunteers working to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Michigan. Everyone comes to this movement for their own reasons, but we’re united by one core belief: voters deserve a stronger voice in our democracy.

✨ What drives someone to volunteer? For Pat, it’s the belief that together we can build a stronger democracy. Join our movement today at www.rankmivote.org/volunteer

"Cleaning up money in politics won’t fix everything overnight. But it will make it possible to tackle our biggest challenges...with decisions driven by what’s best for Michiganders, not by who is writing the biggest check. That’s why environmental advocates and labor leaders are standing together."

Grace reflects on a long, unpredictable day at the Michigan Democratic Convention where delegates weren’t sure if they’d have to vote all over again. That’s the problem. Ranked Choice Voting means no guesswork—just one ballot that always counts. More voice. More choice. One vote.

Ranked Choice Voting gives voters better representation. Where it’s used, election results often better reflect the communities they serve. That’s real representation. Thank you to all our volunteers helping bring RCV to Michigan. We deserve leaders with majority support and voices that matter.

We voted and thought we were done... now it looks like a runoff. With delegates already leaving, round two may not reflect everyone who showed up. That’s why Ranked Choice Voting matters: majority support in one election. If this were RCV, we’d probably be home already.

All day at the Michigan Democratic Convention, we were in the fight for Ranked Choice Voting. Great conversations with delegates and supporters about giving voters more voice, more choice, and majority winners. With the spirit of Joe Louis behind us, we keep pushing forward for Michigan

We’re at the Michigan Democratic Party Convention all day talking Ranked Choice Voting. Stop by our table for info and a sticker if you’re here. Today delegates will vote on our resolution supporting the five Michigan cities that voted for Ranked Choice Voting but still can’t use it.
