In today’s Akron Beacon Journal our Executive Director Denise Riley defends Ohio cities’ powers of local self-government from the Ohio Senate’s attacks against cities’ constitutional #HomeRule authority like the #RankedChoiceVoting Ban Bill #SB63:

A seriously great organization to get behind. It is well past time to eliminate minority rule and have majority rule.

37 people at the Lakewood Summer Meltdown used Rank Choice Voting to pick their favorite way to cool down in the summer. Eating ice cream won!!!! @rankthevoteohio.bsky.social @rankthevoteusa.bsky.social @lakewoodoh.gov

Both parties are threatening to gerrymander their way to an advantage in Congress. The Fair Representation Act would end gerrymandering wars with: 🔢 #RankedChoiceVoting 👫 Multi-member districts ✍️ New redistricting rules Learn about the #FairRepAct ⬇️ fairvote.org/press/fair-r...

Instead of rigging elections with partisan gerrymandering, the #FairRepresentationAct would enable states to use #RankedChoiceVoting to achieve #ProportionalRepresentation that more accurately represents voters:

The conservative R Street Institute explains how #RankedChoiceVoting makes politicians more responsive to voters: “Rather than shape who won, #RCV helped shape how Mamdani won. He reached beyond his core supporters and created a coalition to help him reach majority support.”

A charter amendment for #RankedChoiceVoting is on the agenda for TONIGHT in Lakewood during the 6pm Committee of the Whole! @rank-the-vote-lkwd.bsky.social Public comment is welcome: www.lakewoodoh.gov/wp-content/u...

Voters were excited to talk about #RankedChoiceVoting at the Lakewood Summer Meltdown! @rank-the-vote-lkwd.bsky.social

Our friends up north have started collecting signatures for their #RankedChoiceVoting ballot initiative! Invite your friends in Michigan to sign and help:

"Lawmakers love to talk about small government and local control—until a city does something they don’t like... Home rule was written into the Ohio Constitution to keep exactly this kind of bullying in check." Just like the coercive #RCV ban bill #SB63. rtvo.org/stoptheban

“Most voters believe Congress is overdue for a makeover. Suggested reforms typically include measures such as #RankedChoiceVoting… to hamstring politicians from ignoring their constituents, holding them accountable when they do.” Read more from @drtedj.bsky.social in @postopinions.bsky.social ⬇️

Our July Statewide Meeting will focus on opportunities to get involved with advancing #RankedChoiceVoting in Ohio: rtvo.org/july_statewide_meeting_2025

TODAY! Proceeds from the Rusty Bucket in Worthington will go to #RankTheVoteOhio. Just upload your receipt or use the code RANK9 if ordering online: rtvo.org/rustybucket_07_09_25

To make it abundantly clear I am a huge fan of ranked choice voting (RCV) #rankedchoicevoting

"Voters always say they want more choice at the polls, candidates who engage w/ them, & a genuine, issue-based campaign. They got exactly that in NYC because of #RankedChoiceVoting." – @davedaley.bsky.social in @theguardian.com on how RCV delivered better elections for NYC

"Ranked choice voting is a party-neutral and candidate-neutral tool. Its job is to produce a majority winner with the widest and deepest support from any field of more than two candidates." Read more on how #RankedChoiceVoting provides hope for our politics 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Help boost the #RankedChoiceVoting signal in your community! Join us tonight on Zoom for a Letters to the Editor Workshop: rankthevote.nationbuilder.com/https_rankth...

#RankedChoiceVoting is on the agenda for #Lakewood City Council TONIGHT! rtvo.org/lakewood @rank-the-vote-lkwd.bsky.social

Happy #IndependenceDay from the #RallyForDemocracy in Columbus! rtvo.org/action

Join us THIS FRIDAY JULY 4 to celebrate #IndependenceDay by raising support for #RankedChoiceVoting at the All-Ohio #RallyForDemocracy in #Columbus! 🗽🇺🇸 rtvo.org/rally2025

Today NYC announced unofficial #RankedChoiceVoting results for its Mayoral Primary. We already knew the results from Round 1 on Election Night, showing Mamdani would've won with a plurality under the old pick-one system. Now we see that he won a majority with #RCV: enr.boenyc.gov/rcv/026916_1...

The NYC primary proves ranked choice voting gives voters more power and encourages coalition-building. Now Ohio politicians want to punish local communities that choose to use Ranked Choice voting. This attacks home rule! ✊ Fight back: www.ohiocitizen.org/take_action_...

"The road to better elections and more accountable politicians will be long. #RankedChoiceVoting is an important first step." Andrew Yang makes the case for #RCV in @newsweek.com – highlighting the cross-endorsements and positive campaigning in the #NYC primary ⬇️ www.newsweek.com/new-york-may...

Thank you for signing and sharing! rtvo.org/petition
