Early results show Adams leading NYC mayoral primary as counting continues

<< < (2/3) > >>

Wingnut:
The question remains.  Is Adams a good Rat or a bad Rat?  In NYC most Rats are bad rats.

Fishrrman:
Adams got 30.5%, but "won" with 50.5% with so-called "Ranked choice" voting.
Amazin!

This is just an immediate run-off.  I do not understand the reasons against "ranked choice".

Would you rather spend money on multiple run-off elections doing the exact same thing with more opportunities to cheat, such as bring in additional voters?

Curtis was anything but boring when he was on WOR radio, first with his then wife Lisa, and later with Ron Kuby.

A few years back, Joe Biden stated how he was a frequent patron of Home Depot in Wilmington, DE.  So Sliwa called up the Home Depot stores in Wilmington and asked when the last time Joe Biden was in the store.  It was hysterical.

Because since this country began, elections have been conducted, and the results based upon, "one man, one vote".

Did it occur to you that in the event that no candidate received a majority, that a runoff would reshape and re-focus the race, and also that a number of voters might change their opinions, and their ballots in the runoff?

Those "additional voters" you speak of... might be for our side, as well.

Opportunities "to cheat"?
What about the counting of the "ranked ballots", which will be done out-of-sight and itself subject to cheating of the first order?

Again, what kind of voting wizardry transforms 30% of the vote into 50.5%?

The candidate either got 30%, or he got 50%
NOT BOTH.

Anyone who is reading this post, say gently to yourself:
"One man, one vote".

What would you wish to change this to?
