DC was given limited home rule in the early 1970s by Congress. It’s time for Congress to rescind that limited home rule and take back control of the federal city.

Ranked Choice voting has several aspects different from current approach:
1) It encourages balkanization of the electorate into small highly organized single issue factions. Coalitions of voters are not built. Rather the Coalitions only exist in the small tight group of leaders at the top.
2) Ranked Choice is easily manipulated by the vote counters. The role of the vote counter is now to interpret what the voter really intended.
Currently the vote counter sees a vote cast for a Libertarian, Green Candidate or Constitution Candidate. The vote counter says: That voter obviously made a mistake and intended to vote for a major party candidate.
One of the most ignored forms of voter fraud in 2020 was that massive numbers of voters chose 3d party because they did not like either of the 2 major party candidates. But the vote counter moved those 3d party voters to the major party candidate that the vote counter thought the voter really intended.
