Nebraska: Support LB 793 & LB 125 Ranked Choice Voting

I emailed my own senator, as well as those on the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. LB 793 will have a hearing in the next day or so and I wanted to lend my support 
Support LB 793 & LB 125 Ranked Choice Voting


Greetings, Senator X,


My name is X in X, District X and I write in support of LB 793 for Ranked Choice Voting for local elections and in support of LB 125 for Ranked Choice Voting for Presidential/Gubernatorial etc elections, both introduced by Senator X.


There are wide-reaching benefits to introducing a ballot that allows voters to rank their choices in candidates. 


It is more cost-efficient and it would allow us to eliminate costly primaries and run-offs. 


It would also allow for a more true democracy and more positive engagement, instead of a choice between two major parties only. Many people feel disenfranchised knowing their vote doesn’t truly count, but with Ranked Choice Voting it does.


Ranked Choice Voting is used in 26 states for local, municipal, primary, or special elections, and 21 states have introduced legislation recently.

I support the change in our voting system to better represent the will of the people and allow for the adoption of a more efficient system and hope you will vote in support to make LB 125 & 793 a reality for Nebraska. 

Thank you for your time.
