NEW YORK (AP) — New York City voters used to picking one candidate per race may soon be marking their ballots for up to five.

A ballot measure in Tuesday’s election would make the city the most populous place yet in the U.S. to adopt ranked-choice voting, an elections system in which voters mark down not only their first choice in a race, but also who they’d prefer to win if their top candidate doesn’t make the cut.

The system, also known as instant-runoff voting, is already used in places including San Francisco , Minneapolis and Cambridge, Massachusetts, as well as in Maine . But, if approved, it would be on its biggest stage by far in New York City, where 2.1 million voters cast ballots in last year’s midterm elections.

Only if they have "none of the above" as one of the choices.  If the democrats are really interested in giving choices to voters, which they are not, that should be an option.  Otherwise they will have bigger problems than they already have with political operatives counting the votes.  They can't get it right now, what would happen if the people counting the votes had to keep track of five choices?  It opens the door to all kinds of corruption, manipulation, and other democrat illegalities.

Yet another way that the liberals want to steal the election.

First of all, one-person one-vote was an edict from the infamous Warren Court, who forced it on any governmental body they could even though the one they legally could not—the U.S. Senate—was prima facie evidence that the doctrine was a false one.

Second of all, I'm a firm believer that a plurality alone should not decide an election. If IRV can help establish a consensus in such cases, then I don't mind. (Though, as the ranger said, a functioning None of the Above choice would be an even greater improvement.)

Which means it is communist-approved as a way to destroy our system of government.
