Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Ranked Choice Voting in D.C.: the New Ballot System Guest, Monica Holman Evans, Executive Director for The District of Columbia Board of Elections Michael D. Brown Opens Shadow Politics In this episode of Shadow Politics, host Former D.C. Shadow Senator Michael D. Brown welcomes co-host Liberty Jones and guest Monica Holman Evans, executive director of the District of Columbia Board of Elections. The conversation focuses on D.C.'s newly implemented ranked choice voting system, which Brown describes as exciting, confusing, and important for voters to understand. Before turning to the mechanics of the system, Brown thanks Monica for joining the program during an already active voting period and notes her long experience in election work. Why Ranked Choice Voting Came to D.C. Monica explains that the Board of Elections did not independently decide to implement ranked choice voting. Instead, D.C. voters approved Initiative 83 in the November 2024 general election, with more than 73% voting yes. The D.C. Council then funded implementation in the FY2026 budget. Monica emphasizes that the Board's job is now to administer the system clearly, educate voters, and make sure people are not discouraged from voting because the process feels unfamiliar. How Ranked Choice Voting Works Monica explains that ranked choice voting applies to contests with at least three qualified candidates. In those races, voters may rank up to five candidates in order of preference, but they are not required to rank more than one. A voter can still choose only a first-choice candidate if they wish. Monica stresses that ranking additional candidates does not harm a voter's first choice because only one vote counts at a time. The purpose of the system is to ensure that the winning candidate receives more than 50% of the vote before being declared the winner. Elimination Rounds and Second Choices Brown asks how second-choice votes are counted, and Monica clarifies that second-choice votes are not automatically counted for every voter. If no candidate receives more than 50% in the first round, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated. Then, only the ballots from voters who chose that eliminated candidate are redistributed according to those voters' next ranked choice. This process continues through tabulation rounds until a candidate crosses the required threshold or the contest is otherwise resolved under the rules. Why Some Support the Change Liberty asks why ranked choice voting has gained momentum and what its benefits are supposed to be. Monica explains that the main premise is that candidates should receive majority support rather than winning with a small plurality in crowded races. She says ranked choice voting has already been used in places such as Arlington County, New York, Minneapolis, and Alaska, but D.C.'s rollout is especially broad because it applies to every Board-administered primary, general, and special election contest with at least three qualified candidates, except political party offices. Voter Education and D.C.'s Unique Rollout Monica says one of the Board's biggest challenges is voter education. Many people voted for ranked choice voting without fully understanding how large the implementation would be. She also warns voters not to rely only on outside explanations, because ranked choice voting rules differ by jurisdiction. Monica says the D.C. Board of Elections should be treated as the trusted source for how ranked choice voting works in D.C. She also notes that the Board has already had to correct outside materials that gave inaccurate information. Preparing Voters Before They Arrive Monica encourages voters to use the mailed ballot as a voting guide, even if they plan to vote in person. Because ranking candidates can take longer than simply choosing one name, she says voters should study their ballot before arriving at a vote center. The Board expects people may spend more time voting, so preparation can help reduce delays. Monica also says trained site coordinators and informational materials will be available at vote centers to help voters understand the process. At-Large Races and Candidate Strategy Brown raises a concern about D.C.'s at-large races, where voters have historically been able to choose more than one candidate. Monica explains that ranked choice voting will change how those races work in the general election, because voters will rank candidates rather than casting two equal votes. Brown says that, as a former candidate, he would likely urge voters to make him their second choice if he could not be their first. Monica notes that ranked choice voting may encourage candidates to partner, ask supporters to rank allied candidates, and avoid excessive negative campaigning because second- and third-choice support can matter. Mistakes, Overvotes, and Ballot Validity Brown asks what happens if a voter makes a mistake, such as choosing more than one candidate in the same ranking column. Monica explains that this creates an overvote for that contest at the point of the error. The entire ballot is not thrown out, and earlier valid rankings in that contest may still count. However, once the ballot is cast, the voter does not get a do-over for that contest. This is one reason the Board is emphasizing education, sample ballots, preparation, and on-site assistance. Mail Ballots, Signature Verification, and Election Trust The discussion also covers election integrity and public trust. Monica explains that D.C. uses 100% signature verification on returned mail ballots. The Board compares the ballot signature to signatures already in its system from voter registration forms, prior in-person voting, and prior mail ballots. If a signature cannot be verified, the voter is given an opportunity to cure the issue. Monica says this process has also helped identify situations where someone may have tried to return a ballot on behalf of the actual voter. Access, Same-Day Registration, and Noncitizen Voting Brown praises D.C. for expanding voter access but also says he believes the city may have gone too far in some areas, including allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections. Monica explains that, as of the broadcast, noncitizens are still able to vote in D.C. local elections, although the U.S. House has passed a bill to roll that back and a companion bill has been introduced in the Senate. The conversation also touches on same-day registration and D.C.'s broader effort to make voting accessible. Closing with Resources and a Call to Vote Near the end, Monica directs listeners to the Board of Elections website for ranked choice voting videos, sample materials, and visual explanations. She says early voting begins June 8 and runs through June 14, with 25 early vote centers open from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Election Day is June 16, with 75 vote centers open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monica urges voters not to let ranked choice voting stop them from participating and encourages anyone with questions to contact the Board or visit its ranked choice voting lab. Brown closes by emphasizing voting as both a right and an obligation, and the episode ends with Willie Nelson's “Vote 'Em Out” in honor of Monica's public-service work.

Imagine one day waking up and being told to forget everything you had learned in school. Discovering that key industries in the economy had been eliminated. Learning that culture and history had been reset to year zero. And, worst of all learning that you and your friends and family were to be killed or sent to concentration camps. This is the horrific reality Dr. Sara Pol-Lim was faced with as a young girl in 1970s Cambodia. The regime of the time -- a Marxist inspired junta named the Khmer Rouge created what they viewed as a utopia but the civilized world recognized as a dystopia. What followed was the Cambodian genocide which cost the lives of millions. But what happens to those who survive such horrors? How do they move forward? How can they carry on and rebuild their loves in the shadow of unimaginable horror?  In her powerful new book "Coming to Terms with Historical Trauma: A Memoir," Sara bravely shares her story. It is a book that is both tragic and inspiring. In this episode, I speak with Sara about her story, her trauma, and what lessons we as a society can learn from such terrible events. Sara Pol-Lim's book is available from all major retailers including: Barnes & Noble Amazon Dr. Pol-Lim honors include: • “Woman of Distinction” Award from Assembly Member Patrick O'Donnell in 2015.  • Trail Blazer for Outstanding Leadership by 6th District Councilmember Dee Andrew 2014.  • Outstanding Leadership Award by the United States House of Representatives Congressman Alan Lowenthal 2014.  • 4th District Woman of the Year 2013 by Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe.  • Woman of Distinction 2012 by the Honorable Roderick Wright of the 25th Senatorial District.  • Hands Across the District Medal from the Assembly Member Warren Furutani 2012  • Outstanding Cambodian Leader given by Cambodian Town 2012.  • Selected as “Grand Marshall of the Cambodian New Year Parade 2011.  • The Gene Lentzner's “Human Relations” Award 2010 given by the California Conference for Equality and Justice, Long Beach.  • Selected as “Grand Marshall” of the Long Beach Martin Luther King Parade 2010.  • Woman Who Makes a Difference by the Long Beach NAACP 2009.  • Community Leader Award by Mentoring A Touch from Above in 2009.  • Extraordinary Woman Award by Voter Education & Research Action and presenting by Assemblyman Mervyn M.

We discuss an elections bill passed by the Florida Legislature that limits third party groups from registering voters. On Friday, lawmakers approved Senate Bill 70-50. It now awaits the governor's signature. The bill shortens the length of time voter registration groups have to return completed forms to county elections officials from 14 days to 10 days. It imposes higher fines on forms that are returned late.

A recent study in Texas found that, in local governmental elections, the first name listed on the ballot earns an average of ten percentage points more than the last name on the ballot. This is no coincidence, as it turns out that many voters simply chose a random name if they're unfamiliar with a particular election. With an average of only 19% of eligible voters casting a vote in their local elections at all, municipal governments rely that much more heavily on those who do vote. It has become clear that voter education is an important yet widely ignored issue that will threaten both local and national governmental structures if we continue how we have in the past.Support the show

And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.” 8 So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.There are many people encouraging people to vote.
