Maine approves ranked choice voting for president
GQ -Maine
became the first state in the country to pass ranked choice voting in
presidential elections. The system is pretty straightforward: rather
than casting a vote for a single candidate, voters will be able to mark
their first, second, and third choices for president. If a candidate
doesn't win with an outright majority of first-choice votes, the count
moves on to the next tiers. Ahead of the 2018 midterms, Maine became the
first state to allow voters to rank their choices in elections for
governor, as well as senators and representatives at both the state and
national levels.
