Ranked choice voting in 5 way Mpls mayor race
- beat 9y agoBackground: Minneapolis has Ranked Choice voting (or Instant Runoff Voting, depending on your terminology). In yesterday's mayor election, results are so close among the top 5 candidates (out of a dozen) that we're now down to counting third choice votes to determine the winner. The likely winner (Jacob Frey) got less than 25% of the first choice votes. This election makes a really interesting test case for the value of ranked choice voting!
