A great new podcast featuring Democracy Chronicles good friend Rob Richie, President and CEO of FairVote was featured at WGN Radio show, “The Sunday Spin: Politics with Rick Pearson”, based in Chicago, Illinois. This intro was posted at the World’s Greatest Newspaper by Casera (Cash) Heining:

Rick Pearson talks to President/CEO of FairVote, Rob Richie, on ranked-choice voting. Rob talks about what exactly it is and how it works, as well as the impact it would have had on the Chicago Mayoral Race. Ranked-choice voting is gaining momentum throughout the U.S. as more states and cities are beginning to implement it, as well as other countries that have been using it for years including Ireland and Australia. Rob and Rick also discuss the need to explore implementing the ranked-choice voting system into IL and more.

Other states and localities that have recently seen legislation proposed to make the switch to ranked choice voting include Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, the city of Baltimore, and at least four cities in Utah. Click those four links for the latest related Democracy Chronicles coverage!
