Do you want Nancy Mace's seat?
Do you want Nancy Mace's seat? YouTube video by Better Ballot SC

Do you want Nancy Mace's seat? Lots of people do. It will lead to vote splitting/skewed outcomes. SC needs a system that identifies a majority, eliminates vote splitting.

If only there were a better way... Oh wait, there is. #InstantRunoffVoting lets you rank your choices on your first trip to the polls. That means the runoff is unnecessary, saves time, saves money, and increases voter turnout.

22 potential runoffs in the June 9th primary There is a better way Instant Runoff Voting

The potential for runoffs is profound! 22 races could go to a runoff in June. With crowded fields for governor, senate, and more, statewide runoffs for both parties are likely. But runoffs are expensive and lead to low voter turnout.

The reallocation of votes are determined by the voter's rankings. You can count by hand like Ireland does, too.

It makes *your* vote go further giving you more choice and more voice.
