What I don't get is how the Maine voting system looks to be the equivelant of how NCAA ranks its football teams? I want change in the government, but getting more second place votes and not getting more first place votes seems like using loopholes to forgo voters wishes.

I am not a republican. I am a person who believes that if both sides continue to use shady tactics and loopholes to get ahead then neither side is worthy of representing the people how they deserve to be represented. If both sides are corrupt there is no moral high ground
-
I don’t see RCV as inherently partisan. The intent is to get the most satisfying result for the most people. I think RCV does that pretty well. And if a Repub had won via RCV, I’d be saying the same exact thing.
-
If the last few decades has shown anything its how broken our democracy is and how voting doesn't make the difference they like you to believe it does.
-
I know you aren’t, I saw that! I’m not party affiliated either. And I definitely agree that voting doesn’t seem to make a difference when trying to rid Congress of contention.

Agreed

Congressman Golden, I too hope that Bruce Poliquin will stop muddying the waters via sour grapes. The judge made the right ruling. Let’s get on with it.

Jared I’m pleased you will be supporting Maine ..one thought though support Nancy Pelosi! She’s experienced and a fighter you and us need both!
-
ALERT: Leader Pelosi & the DCCC advised 60 Dem challengers in R-leaning seats to be ‘No on Nancy.’ ‘Just win baby,’ Pelosi said, and 18 did — making her Speaker. Leader Pelosi: “I think if they had to do that to win the election, I'm all for winning.”https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/08/politics/nancy-pelosi-democratic-opponents-speaker-win-baby/index.html …

The 2nd congressional district voted down RCV in the citizen initiative and now the 1st congressional district has forced this debacle on us
-
The 2nd congressional district voted for trump Jared says he can work with trump but so far the Democratic leader ship is talking impeachment. I don’t call that working with the president. I would also wonder what Jareds stand is on border security?
-
Ask him. Look at his website. I haven't heard Mrs. Pelosi talk about impeachment other than to say she is waiting for Mueller's report. Has a broad range of proposals to begin working on. Border security yes, wall no. If Trump is a criminal he'll need impeaching, yes?
-
Well I guess that’s what you call working with our president. I guess he really wasn’t clear on that during the campaign

RCV IS BS. It gives some a second vote. If you choose to vote for a erd party then that is your vote.
