Ranked-choice voting: It’s worth a try
Re: “Why we’re in favor of ranked-choice voting and even-year elections” [April 15, Opinion]:
I have two reactions to this op-ed. First: Assuming the writers have accurately described his objections to ranked-choice voting, I’m astounded Secretary of State Steve Hobbs worries it is too confusing for many voters. Compared to what? Where would Hobbs rank an IRS 1040 instruction booklet? (Don’t get me started.) My sense is RCV wouldn’t be easier (or harder). Probably just better.
Second: Regarding odd-year voting, why all this concern about showing up? Given we’re a mail-in ballot state, nobody has to “show up” anywhere (besides the mailbox) to vote. Am I to infer from the op-ed that, whereas most ballots retrieved from mailboxes in even years are opened, filled out and returned, that in every odd year, a much larger percentage of ballots retrieved from those very same mailboxes are simply round filed?
At one time, the facility of voting may well have been critical to turnout. Today, I don’t know how it could be easier. If this is a social justice issue, as claimed in the op-ed, other culprits must be in the mix.
