Listening to #NPR while I do some indoor work (raining today).

Sounds like the US is headed to municipal elections everywhere shortly. Two interesting points:

#Mamdani is poised to win the NYC mayorship. (Yay!) and…

#Minneapolis is using #RankedBallot voting. Glad to see that (slowly) moving forward! Maybe some other US cities too?

My strong belief is that ranked ballot is perhaps the only thing that'll save democracy from creeping authoritarianism and associated electoral manipulation.
