Democratic activists are looking to overhaul the party’s presidential primary process with ranked-choice voting.

Proponents of the idea have privately met with Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin and other leading party officials who want to see ranked-choice voting in action for 2028. Those behind the push include Representative Jamie Raskin, the nonprofit Fairvote Action, and Joe Biden pollster Celinda Lake.

Axios reports that ranked-choice supporters told a DNC breakfast meeting in D.C. that they believe it would unify and strengthen the party, prevent votes from being “wasted” after candidates withdraw, and encourage candidates to build coalitions. The publication quotes DNC members as being divided on the issue, with some being open and others thinking that it is best left to state parties.

    If this was the case there would be a ton of people stealing bit coin. I hear people loosing bit coin wallets to hackers who use phishing. But I’ve never heard of one bit coin wallet getting hacked by brute force, and less having hundreds or thousands of hacks. Yet thousands would still be less than .3% of the population. So I’m sorry but I trust a mathematical system more than I trust voting for 50 fuckers to got “vote for me” on my behalf. Cucks do that…come do my wife, on my behalf! WTF. If you don’t trust a rando to do your girlfriend right, you shouldn’t trust them to vote like you would like. You know what I trust? The addition sign +… 53votes +my vote=54 votes. That’s literary all this voting system must do internally and the rest is to keep that vote secure.
