"I'm pretty sure pigs can fly." says every person who has heard it's true a thousand times but hasn't really evaluated the claim in detail or tested it. 😞 FairVote has so much money to spread "your vote is always counted" misinformation about #RankChoice (and lies about #STARvoting), that nobody tries to see through the second or third round of IRV/RCV/STV that is just a shell-game stall tactic to prevent #VotingReformhttps://starvoting.org
#STARvoting now hiring signature gatherers in #Portland/ #pdx metro area, in coalition with "Get Big Money out of Politics" and the "Oregon People's Rebate" Universal Basic Income initiative. #UBI#BasicIncome#votingReform#CampaignFinance#democracy#ORpol (paid canvassers would carry all 3 petitions.)

Trump can't win without third party candidates splitting the vote because he can't reach a majority of the votes, but he can get a plurality of the votes if enough candidates are in the race.
#STARvoting canvassing at the Montavilla Farmers Market this Sunday. Stop by and get your signature on the state petition (or get in touch beforehand if you can volunteer to help.) #Portland#VotingReform
#STARVoting is canvassing at PSU Farmers Market Sat July 29. Volunteers and signatures needed to get https://www.starvoting.org/star4or2024 on the Oregon 2024 ballot. This is the #VotingReform we need to break out of two-party games like "throwing your vote away" with simplistic outdated vote-counting methods, better than #RankChoice because in STAR, your vote always counts and the 2-step results (add & count your favorite of top-2) are simple to distribute, track, & audit. #ORpol#Portland#pdx
Help #STARvoting get on the statewide ballot and let's get #ORpol unstuck from polarized deadlock! Volunteer to gather signatures before the Pride Parade on Sunday, and more #pdx events coming up later this month and next. State chapter zoom Wednesday night. #VotingReform
