@theoregonian: Make Portland even weirder? Voters this fall will elect three City Council members from each of four large districts using a version of ranked-choice voting not used in any other U.S. city. The multi-winner system is a bit quirky — and can be confusing. But don’t panic. The Oregonian/OregonLive has you covered with a sweet explainer on how this all works. Using doughnuts, of course. Understand more about the new voting system at the l!nk in our b!o. #portland #politics #rankedchoicevoting #voting 🎥 by Teresa Mahoney

Good breakdown. I thought we were using the Borda method (diff pts per rank), but this helped explain the run-off method. Lower preferences are back-up contingencies.

Oregonian, love your work & the creativity & effort that went into this, but I think I may have a worse understanding of ranked choice voting than I did before somehow?

why are only the ballots of the people who chose the winner used to determine the other winners? like, if someone voted for apple fritter as their #1, would their whole ballot just be ignored when 1/2

Anything that requires this much explanation is not going to work well. Many voters can't do simple ballots, much less this new math BS.

What about the one ballot that had only one option filled in? (by anonymous) Is that considered a proper ballot or would it be incomplete? what if a majority only fills out a portion?
