    Nebraska held their primaries last night, and boy did we see some vote-splitting. In the Republican primary for Governor, the winner emerged with just 34% of the vote. With approval voting, there would be a much clearer picture of what the voters actually wanted.

    Aaron Hamlin of wrote an excellent OpEd to the Juneau Empire about Alaska's tough new primary method. Great write up!

    It shouldn't be a big surprise that when you force voters to pick only one candidate when you have 48 options that you're going to have a bit of a mess.

    When we think of voting, most of us think "Vote for one candidate." But it doesn't have to be that way. There are better ways to vote out there, like approval voting. Voters deserve better. Join the movement for better elections >>

    Tired of all those attack ads during primary season? You can blame choose-one voting. It forces candidates to sling mud at others who they actually align with on policy, all to secure your vote. Hear more from Kristine Reeves & other candidates:

    With approval voting, candidates don't have to worry about being a spoiler or splitting the vote. That gives more candidates the freedom to run, and it gives voters the freedom to show support for ALL the candidates they like 👍
