Back to Episodes7 Ideas To Make Voting Better in PA
Description
Our primary election is just around the corner on May 19, so it feels like a good time to take stock of how well our voting process actually works. There are lots of ideas for improving elections here in Pennsylvania, from opening our primaries to making Election Day a holiday. Host Megan Harris joins State Rep. Chris Rabb and Armin Samii, a volunteer with March on Harrisburg, to discuss some proposals — and learn what ranked choice voting has in common with Baskin-Robbins.
Check out RCVis, Armin's ranked choice voting data visualization tool, and read up on the history of closed primaries in PA.
