Primary Election 2025 and Ranked Choice Voting | Keeping Relevant
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), a relatively new way for New Yorkers to vote in municipal elections is outlined and discussed. RCV is “different and it’s complicated,” and important in anticipation of the June 2025, Primary Election, to select a candidate for mayor. Instead of voting for one candidate, RCV lets the voter RANK 5 candidates, in order of preference, does away with re-run elections and lets people vote their conscience.

Mark Green highlights the lies; the president's opposition to NATO allies; the belittling of an interracial-intergender administration. Green asks will enough people leave him when their mother or father can't rely on their social security check; when their children's public school sinks; when their nephew can't marry the man of his choosing.
