@HeavenlyPossum the specific method of ranked voting being promoted by the most well-funded orgs, IRV/ "fairvote", is just a plurality voting method with multiple rounds of shuffling your vote around in a shell game. It doesn't fix vote-splitting, empower third parties, or give a majority-preferred winner. Some of the people promoting it know this and just want to stall/block actual #votingReform, the rest haven't closely examined these claims and lies they spread about STAR or Approval voting

"I'm pretty sure pigs can fly." says every person who has heard it's true a thousand times but hasn't really evaluated the claim in detail or tested it. FairVote has so much money to spread "your vote is always counted" misinformation about #RankChoice (and lies about #STARvoting), that nobody tries to see through the second or third round of IRV/RCV/STV that is just a shell-game stall tactic to prevent #VotingReform https://starvoting.org

#STARvoting now hiring signature gatherers in #Portland/ #pdx metro area, in coalition with "Get Big Money out of Politics" and the "Oregon People's Rebate" Universal Basic Income initiative. #UBI #BasicIncome #votingReform #CampaignFinance #democracy #ORpol (paid canvassers would carry all 3 petitions.)

#STARVoting is canvassing at PSU Farmers Market Sat July 29. Volunteers and signatures needed to get https://www.starvoting.org/star4or2024 on the Oregon 2024 ballot. This is the #VotingReform we need to break out of two-party games like "throwing your vote away" with simplistic outdated vote-counting methods, better than #RankChoice because in STAR, your vote always counts and the 2-step results (add & count your favorite of top-2) are simple to distribute, track, & audit. #ORpol #Portland #pdx

Help #STARvoting get on the statewide ballot and let's get #ORpol unstuck from polarized deadlock! Volunteer to gather signatures before the Pride Parade on Sunday, and more #pdx events coming up later this month and next. State chapter zoom Wednesday night. #VotingReform
