Although Ranked Choice Voting is not a major issue in the 2014 Election, it will certainly be a large part of determining the outcome, and is probably part of the reason so many candidates are able to get into the race.

Jean Quan |
"Quan believes the process increases voter turnout, costs less and encourages lower-profile candidates. She took on a second mortgage and $150,000 in debt to finance her campaign. She couldn't have afforded to raise more for a traditional runoff, she said.
"It gave us a chance to run," she said." |

Sam (Sammuel) Washington | Does not like RCV: "Primaries assure voters own the elimination & elevation process - not the system!..." "RCV really helps me as I don't have a lot of money. BUT, the system still chooses, not voters." "RCV played no role in my choice [in running], but it does help me. I'm stand for direct voter choice, not systems." | tweet conversation 6/13/14 |
