Show notes
Ranked Choice Voting — where voters can rank their candidates in order of preference - has been gaining steam in parts of the country.
But in Michigan? Though some local communities have voted to have it, the state's constitution is in the way. That could be changed through the ballot box - if RankMiVote is successful.
The goal would be to give voters more choice, and have elections that more accurately reflect what voters want.
Pat Zabawa, the Executive Director of RankMiVote, stops by to talk about why the time is now for Michigan to move to Ranked Choice Voting, or RCV, and the benefits.
