Podcasts about ranked choice voting

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Joe Kirby has a piece in The Dakota Scout arguing that the thousands of people who switched parties to vote in the Republican gubernatorial runoff proves South Dakota needs open or top-two primaries.He says voters shouldn’t have to change registration just to have a meaningful say. His brother Steve is pushing the same idea.Voters already rejected a top-two amendment in 2024 by a wide margin. And every state that has adopted these systems has become a Democratic stronghold.Do you buy Kirby’s argument that party-switching proves we need open primaries? Should South Dakota keep its closed Republican primary or change the system? Does it concern you that top-two and ranked-choice states have all become solidly blue?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Monday, July 20 public comment period of the Albany Common Council once again drew comments on Ranked Choice Voting, data centers, and Flock Cameras. Several people also spoke about the need to preserve the James Hall Office, a small one-story building that was the personal laboratory of James Hall, a leading 19th-century paleontologist. In this segment, we hear from former Councilmember Richard Conti; Wade Holina; Marianna Achlaoug of Albany Indivisible; and Ivette Alfonso of the Working Families Party.

Why are nonprofit hospitals paying CEOs tens of millions of dollars while healthcare costs continue to soar? And why are activists pushing ranked choice voting across the country? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by Trent England, Executive Director of Save Our States and co-chair of the Stop Ranked Choice Voting Coalition, for a deep dive into two of the most important—and overlooked—issues facing Americans today. Together, they expose how taxpayer dollars flow into nonprofit hospital systems, why independent doctors are disappearing, how government regulations drive up healthcare costs, and what can be done to restore competition in medicine. They also break down the growing push for ranked choice voting, who is funding it, and why critics argue it threatens election transparency and voter confidence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There were a variety of issues raised during the Monday, July 6, public comment period of the Albany Common Council. A major focus was support for a resolution in favor of having Governor Hochul sign the legislation for a one-year moratorium on new data centers in the state, which the council approved. Speakers also urged the council to either adopt a local moratorium on data centers or outright reject the proposed data center at Kenwood Commons. That issue is not yet before the council. Several speakers also spoke in favor of the proposal for Ranked Choice Voting. However, the Council failed to take any action on this issue, which makes it unlikely that it would be approved in time for a public vote in the November election. One concern is the legality of ending primaries, which is included in the proposal. The end of primaries has generated opposition from the Democrats and Working Families Parties. Others spoke in opposition to the continued presence of Flock Cameras in the city to read license plates, which has generated concerns both about mass surveillance and its potential abuse by ICE. Several residents urged the Council to support the efforts by residents of the apartment buildings on Willett Avenue adjoining Washington Park – the so-called Hippie Hotel, to form a tenant's union and improve building conditions. We hear from Bryan Paz-Hernandez of Indivisible, Alexandra Armanino, Madeline Reilly, and Andrew M Co-Chair of the Capital District DSA. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine, First, Mark Dunlea reports on the Albany Common Council meeting and some issues raised, including a data center moratorium, Ranked Choice Voting, and tenant unions.

Later on, Roaming Labor Correspondent Willie Terry talks to Alfonso Rodriguez of Troy 4 Black Lives about the politics of Juneteenth. After that, Susan Brink talks to Keith Pray about the Galway Jazz Festival taking place on Sunday, July 12. Finally, Albany Symphony will join us to talk about Water Music NY: More Voices to Waterford on Friday July 10. Co-hosts: Arbor Mae and Sina Basila Hickey.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they break down the FBI thwarting a terrorist attack aimed at the UFC-White House event, the ridiculous ranked choice voting system, Hillary Clinton's revisionist comments on Biden's 2024 re-election bid, and the opening of Barack Obama's presidential library.First, Charlie and Greg react to the alleged plot of a drone and sniper attack at the UFC America 250 event thwarted days in advance by the FBI. Five suspects have been arrested, and at least 23 Signal users are believed to have discussed the scheme on the encrypted app. Charlie emphasizes that drone technology is drastically changing security protocols.Next, Charlie and Greg scrutinize the convoluted ranked choice voting system, illustrated by elections in Alaska and Washington, D.C. Charlie argues that election laws become problematic when average citizens struggle to understand how votes are counted and how winners ultimately emerge.Then, they cover Hillary Clinton's recent remarks saying President Joe Biden made a “terrible mistake” by running for re-election in 2024. Hillary is the latest Democrat trying to rewrite history after staunchly backing Biden.Finally, Charlie and Greg poke fun at the hideous Obama Presidential Museum and look back at his real presidential legacy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn BeddingGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML at https://BrooklynBedding.com Noble Gold Download the free investor kit.

Today is the first DC election under ranked-choice voting. And anyone who thought “instant runoff” meant immediate results is in for a nasty surprise: The city says it may be 10 days before they announce results. We're talking with Lisa Rice, one of the people behind the referendum that okayed RCV a few years ago, about what to expect at the polls, when we might know a winner, and whether we're right to feel irritated about potential delays.

D.C.'s June Primary is June 16th  and this year, voting works differently. For the first time, D.C. is using Ranked Choice Voting, which means you can rank up to five candidates in order of preference instead of picking just one. For this sponsored episode, Senior Executive Producer Annie Rees is chatting with Gary Thompson, Chair of D.C.'s Board of Elections, to explain exactly how it works, bust the myth that ranking more than one candidate splits your vote, and walk you through what your ballot will actually look like. In other words, everything you need to know before you head to the polls or fill out your mail-inballot. Learn more from the sponsor of this episode at dcboe.org/rcv.

California's Top Two Primary, also known as a Jungle Primary, was approved by voters as Proposition 14 in 2010. Prop. 14 was promoted by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lt. Governor Abel Maldonado and endorsed by most major newspapers as a way to lessen partisanship and reduce gridlock by encouraging compromise. (We'll leave it to readers to decide if it has had the desired effect.) official opposition to Top Two was wide, if not deep: All of the state's registered political parties, from GOP to Greens, were opposed, as were organizations as diverse as the California State Firefighters, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the United Nurses Associations. The Amendment passed by 8 points. Sixteen years later, California voters are beginning to sour on Top Two. Fears of a GOP - or Democratic - lockout in this year's race for governor have led many to call for a change. Recent polling by Capitol Weekly found the 79% of respondents wanted to revise or repeal the jungle primary.  Longtime Democratic consultant Steve Maviglio has heeded that call, filing a ballot initiative proposing to repeal Prop. 14. Maviglio is no newcomer to this fight - he led the opposition to the 2010 amendment. He joins us today to talk about the race for governor, the legacy of the Top Two and why it needs to change. :34 Op-eds 5:21 Polling on Top Two 7:32 Steve Maviglio 10:10 A problem for smaller parties 10:58 Could Republicans be shut out in November? 12:27 Top Two has not worked as advertised 13:43 Other options?

In Ranked Choice Voting, voters rank candidates in order of their preference. If no one receives a majority on the first round, the lowest ranked candidate is eliminated and the second choices of their voters are then distributed. The process continues until someone has a majority. RCV Albany is working to put such a system on the ballot in Albany, either through a vote of the City Council or by petition. Dorian Solot discusses the effort with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

The Republican Party of Alaska is back with their second attempt to repeal Alaska's Ranked Choice Voting law. But this time they came with a dump truck to carry all of their bullshit. 

The very Republican and business-like history of American ranked choice voting and single transferable votes, first used in a major city in the 1920's may surprise some who (may) think it's a new idea. Initially created to make a Good Government Charter system work, it was used in Cincinnati for 20 years, and was part of a set of changes that lives on today. Learn more about your ad choices.
