What is ranked-choice voting and why is New York using it?
Great to see this on Hacker News! I&#x27;m a former YC Founder who&#x27;s been working with NYC on voter education for this year&#x27;s elections through RankedVote (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rankedvote.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rankedvote.co</a>).<p>You can get a sense for what it&#x27;s like to vote in a ranked-choice election here:
