Let's bring #ApprovalVoting to MA for more representative, more democratic elections!

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

All that and #ApprovalVoting is compatible with existing ballots, avoids vote splitting & spoilers, gives immediate results and shows how much support each candidate truly gets. #mapoli

Approval voting is simple, transparent, and empowers voters to truly have their voices heard. 👍🗳 https://t.co/nplglnYjBe

Our Congressional primaries are broken, but there’s a way to fix them. Join us March 11th as three former Congressional candidates who ran in contests defined by vote-splitting, share their stories and help us make sense of a better path forward. RSVP Now! https://t.co/gleA2xHNNu

@Cudney4MA @BarryRafkind Oh. I actually had the same question about your tweet 😉

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@Cudney4MA #ApprovalVoting is simpler than STAR and better than RCV https://t.co/8gcElxffHS

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@Nahanni_ @aszilva @FairVoteIL Right, it's approve 👍or disapprove 👎 for each candidate. https://t.co/97L79tDj0q

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@Nahanni_ @aszilva @FairVoteIL Oh, any reason you think that?

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@Nahanni_ @aszilva @FairVoteIL It has not been adopted yet, since the energy behind #ApprovalVoting is focused on the simpler case of single-winner races.

[Nahanni #FBPPR @Nahanni_]

@aszilva @FairVoteIL Exactly. #WinnerTakeAll #RankedBallots (aka #RCV aka #AV) is nothing more than a series of #FPTP counts with a candidate dropped off after each count. If #FPTP provides such a bad result in the first place, why keep doing it over and over again?? https://t.co/8qmfQuWzX1 #onpoli

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@Nahanni_ @aszilva @FairVoteIL Great question! Better use #ApprovalVoting , a simple tweak where we vote for one *or more* and the highest vote-getter wins. Check out https://t.co/qQaqLmlLcn

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@VoterChoiceMA @hgse It falsely claims #RCV "tends to favor candidates who are less extreme" whereas it actually suffers from the "Center Squeeze" effect unlike #ApprovalVoting https://t.co/mpDzUYO8KG

This is why we want to bring approval voting to #Seattle! Because of crowded primary elections, the top vote getter in 2017 only had 28% of the vote. With approval voting, we'll make sure that election winners have a strong mandate to lead. READ MORE: https://t.co/I8zhPzn8po

Help bring approval voting to #Massachusetts! Join @BarryRafkind and other #approvalvoting enthusiasts for an open house on Saturday, December 11th to discuss how this simple reform could bring fairer, more representative elections to Massachusetts. RSVP: https://t.co/KO3Taf6KnD

Seattle is the new frontier for #approvalvoting! For too long, #Seattle's "choose-one" voting method led to primary winners that don't fully represent the voters. We're working w/ @SeattleApproves to bring better voting methods to the Emerald City! Donate: https://t.co/2TPaA1knIv

If you were wondering if @AndrewYang likes #STAR and Approval Voting in addition to Ranked Choice Voting, the answer is YES.

I didn't capture the first part of his answer to @ZarMarquez's question, but it's important for people to know that he's trying to capitalize on momentum.

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@representus Nope, #RankedChoiceVoting aka Alternative Vote as used in Australia did not work out like that. Better use #ApprovalVoting. https://t.co/GAmqj8HmRj

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@VoterChoiceMA Or if you want a simpler and more robust ballot, adopt #ApprovalVoting https://t.co/S5PXEXtJtX

[MassApproves @MassApproves]

@VoterChoiceMA What about the 140,000 ballots deemed inactive in NYC's Mayoral #RCV primary? Did those voters waste their time ranking the candidates? #ApprovalVoting actually solves it.
