The American Democracy Minute Radio Report & Podcast for Feb. 2, 2024 Georgia is the only state which conducts runoffs for both general AND primary elections when no candidate receives a 50% majority. But runoff elections are time consuming, have low turnout, and cost millions of dollars to run. Ranked choice voting – also known as “instant runoff”– could solve it, BUT the Georgia Senate just voted to ban it.
In greater Concord, NH hear ADM on www.WNHNFM.org/live <www.wnhnfm.org/live> just before 11 AM Eastern M-F, or ask your smart speaker to “Play the American Democracy Minute Podcast.”
