  • Was talking to my mother earlier, saying how excited I was there was a ballot measure for switching a lot of primaries in CO to ranked choice. She said she they had ranked choice in VT a little while back, and she didn’t like it, and that it was too confusing. I was sad and surprised. Never occurred to me that anyone would object to a better method, especially for a reason that sounded like “oh I just don’t know about all these new fangled computers”. Oof.

    Feels like alternate voting has the same issues that a lot of new ideas do, which is PR and UX (I’m looking at you, science!). I hope we don’t have to wait for old clueless people to die off before things change.
