    We really need to move past First Past the Post, but the people who can institute the change are the people who are elected by FPTP.

      We can in states with voter sponsored ballot initiatives, Michigan I think will be having a ranked choice voting constitutional amendment by referendeum after they submit a million signatures of registered voters or whatever it is.

      Other states already did it, Alaska I know. It is a superior system that rejects extremists candidates, and makes people running third party not play spoiler. If you vote for third party first, you choose if he loses, your vote goes to the democrat. If the democrat loses, then your vote goes to Crimedog McGruff, or whatever.
