Thanks to everyone who came out to lobby for RCV yesterday, to Voter Choice Massachusetts for organizing it and to Common Cause Massachusetts, MassVote, League of Women Voters Massachusetts and other groups for turning supporters out. It was awe inspiring to see so many Ranked Choice Voting supporters advocating for greater democracy in the State House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you did not get a chance to lobby yesterday, please take a moment to look up your state representative and state senator<\/a> and give them a call or send them an email urging them to support S.414\/H.719 – An Act Relative to Ranked Choice Voting and S.420\/H.635 – An Act Providing a Local Option for Ranked Choice Voting in Municipal Elections. You can find more information on RCV at https:\/\/www.voterchoicema.org\/about_rcv<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some pictures and a video to give you an idea of how successful this event was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wonderful turnout for #RCVLobbyDay<\/a> by @VoterChoiceMA<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/rL52fJl9PZ<\/a>\u2014 Mass.
