The plan for getting ranked choice voting on Michigan’s November ballot next year

Two months ago, a campaign to enact ranked choice voting in Michigan got off the ground. 

Last month, state lawmakers passed a bill in the House along party lines to ban ranked choice voting. But even its Republican sponsor admitted that if voters approve it on the ballot, that would override the ban.

Joe Spaulding, campaign director for Rank MI Vote, spoke with Robyn Vincent about why he believes ranked choice voting will make our political system more, not less, democratic.
