As Americans head to the polls amidst widespread skepticism about the U.S. election system, alternative voting methods like ranked choice voting are gaining attention.
Critics argue that the current system is prone to fraudulent vote counting and fosters extreme partisanship, with candidates on both sides holding polarized views.
Ranked choice voting offers a potential solution by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference, which could lead to more representative outcomes and reduce the likelihood of extreme candidates winning.
In Colorado, this voting system is starting to gain traction, with proponents believing it could overhaul the traditional electoral process.
