Although we do not endorse RCV, we believe that banning any voting method is anti-democratic and a loss for voting reform as a whole. It should be up to voters which methods they use in their elections.31 Mar 2026 22:01 +0000at://did:plc:xsa6447iwd2wz7j3upq5nvm3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mif6hjtrvr2whttps://bsky.app/profile/equalvote.bsky.social/post/3mid3eg5j772lEarlier this month, we attended the SCALE open source conference to learn some cool stuff and share about BetterVoting.com.

But elected officials are polarized. This is directly a result of the way that Americans typically vote. We can fix this with a better voting method such as Approval Voting or STAR Voting.
