    Did anyone read the article? It’s not saying ever you guys think it’s saying. The DC Democrats are saying that in two predominantly black areas, having voters pick two choices on ballots has already led to confusion and that ranked choice will lead to even worse confusion.

    They’re not speculating here, they’re describing what’s already known.

      I share your frustration. I live in ward 6 which shares political influence with ward 7 and 8.

      the confusion isn’t from the ranked vote as much as the way the ballot is currently arranged.

      the ranked choice just happens to be the change used to fix the disenfranchisement and the complaint is that’s not enough.

      I agree.
