What can do we do to push ranked choice voting? Does it have to start at local levels, or can it be done at the highest levels to maximize effect?

Absolutely proportional representation needs to be taken into consideration. This year, however, there have been so many times I've heard the argument that voting 3rd party is a wasted vote. Besides the fact that it's not (I'm voting for who I want, and I would love to see 5%), this argument would be nullified with ranked choice.

Agreed. I'm confident neither Clinton nor Trump would still be in the race is ranked choice voting was in place.

Think of it more as Trump pushing people together.
