I voted using ranked-choice for Senator and Congresscritter for the first time today in Maine. [View all]

Maine people voted for ranked-choice voting after electing UberAsshole Paul LePage for governor by less that 50% of the votes in **two** elections.

Unfortunately, the Maine Constitution forbids it in gubernatorial elections - but not national offices.

It was easy.

Put the Dem at the top if the list, the independents in the middle - and the vile repugs at the bottom of the barrel.

hee hee.
