Introducing A Less Destructive Presidential Primary

Independent Voter Podcast: Beyond Partisan Politics

IVN Editor Shawn Griffiths discusses a new bill in New Hampshire with Equal Citizens communication strategist and author Adam Eichen that would implement ranked choice voting in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. There is an emerging mainstream appeal for ranked choice voting in states across the country, and advocates say that not only does it create a more representative system, it also boosts civility on the campaign trail while discouraging negative campaigning -- creating a healthier campaign environment. Adam and Shawn get into the details of the bill in New Hampshire, which would treat ranked choice voting a little differently because it is a presidential primary, and something that Eichen says is sorely needed in large candidate fields like the growing Democratic field.
