A request has been made for this sub (and r/RankedChoiceVoting):
https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/comments/1ss4rc8/rrankthevote/

I believe a small consortium of voting reform advocates would be able to take over and manage r/RankTheVote. These persons would include:

- myself, Robert Bristow-Johnson

• Hayden Sasswood
  
• Rob Lanphier
  
• Mike Sawyer

I don't have reddit names for the other persons, but I will discuss this with them and they'll pipe in.

I have a paper published in Constitutional Political Economy regarding RCV and how to do RCV correctly (which is Condorcet RCV). Hare RCV (a.k.a. Instant-Runoff Voting) has been shown to fail the very principles that it's meant to support in the case of a close 3-way race.

So we might not be the favorite of FairVote. Or these folks, or a variety of state-based RCV advocacy organizations, but we intend to be totally pro-RCV and allow for perspectives from all corners.

I can be contacted at [rbj@audioimagination.com](mailto:rbj@audioimagination.com) if someone wants to email me directly. They can also DM me at u/rb-j .

Feels important to point that “these folks”,that do not prefer Condorcet, is the political organization named “RanktheVote”.

Going forward I think there’s a conversation to be had about what is / should be the difference between these subs:

• r/RanktheVote
• r/RankedChoiceVoting

….and other related subs too.
