    You guys are exhausting.

    No one is saying black people are too dumb to understand ranked choice. They’re saying that people from low income, predominantly black areas, under-voted when required to choose two candidates on past ballots. That means those people were effectively disenfranchised. If the evidence shows that ranked choice could potentially disenfranchise people from low-income minority areas, that is something to be concerned about.

      That’s not a reason good enough to hold back everyone else from the benefits of ranked choice. If they’re worried about that alleged potential disenfranchisement then they should get out there and inform those people of how to do it properly. Send out flyers, emails, publish advertisements, knock on doors, etc.

      The rest of us are already disenfranchised by these shitty 2-party choices.

        I’m not saying that they’re right. I’m saying that calling them racists who think black people are dumb is a complete mischaracterization.
