119. Wes Dodge on the Benefits of Ranked Choice Voting and the Dangers of Dark Money

Wes Dodge is on the boards for Rank the Vote Nebraska, Common
Cause Nebraska, Represent Us Omaha, and Non-Partisan Nebraska. He
sees the possibility of meaningful reforms to our political chaos
through adopting ranked choice elections and moving toward a
nonpartisan vision of governance instead of our highly polarized
current climate. Today he and Tom Knoblauch talk about what
ranked choice voting would look like compared to what we are used
to as well as how polarization is largely rooted in monied
interests obscuring what voters want and keeping the focus on
culture war noise.
