Me: 2008 wasn't that long ago. It was like a decade ago.
Also me: wait... That's 16 years ๐ฐ
The only current think close to ranked choice voting in the state that I'm aware of is in St. Louis City where a few positions are elected based on a double run off where the top two candidates of the first election have a subsequent run off.
I read an article a little bit back where the politician championing it was quoted saying "it's too confusing" and that is the primary reason it needs to be banned in the state constitution. So that's the kind of people trying to push this through.
What I believe they really want is to clamp down on any chance of local municipalities trying to use an alternative voting system to first past the post. Those in power would be threatened by people having more choice.
I was just wondering how a card game had an opinion at all ๐
Credit Card companies (ie MasterCard or Visa) typically have a flat per transaction fee that is very small (like fractional cent small). The processors are the ones that take the percentage cut (PoS and your bank). It's been a bit since the last time I looked into it, so things could be a bit different, but I would be surprised if it was.
And -sic because I want it as is!
I'd imagine you would get some pretty horrible distortion in the picture. That has to be why we haven't done it yet.
I went with "Encrypted for Your Pleasure".

Oh, and the game is Baba is You. It's a delightful indie puzzle game that has a lot of outside the box solutions.
I can't breathe from laughing at this.
It's amazing to see something like this having progress. I thought that with all the lobbying the tax companies do we would never see something like this in the US.
Interestingly, Democrats have historically had an advantage in the lower income brackets over Republicans. There's a tipping point for the ultra wealthy to swing back to Democrat. This article is a bit older, but it's useful to predate Trump and a bit of the weirdness that has brought with party lines (although my brief search says it still tends to be this way). The wedge issue is much more likely the point of policies like this to get the single issue voters support.
