RON

September 14, 2018

I just ran across a brilliant idea in a comment on Quora.  This guy said that during campus voting his university always included a final choice:  Reopen Nominations!  In the case of a plurality of RON votes, I guess the election was quashed and re-run.

In a world where Proportional Representation has proven to break down quickly and give rise to authoritarian rule, the RON option might be a satisfying way to bring in the appearance of electoral reform.

    Brilliant idea! If RON had been on the USA POTUS ballot in 2016, I would have gone to the polls. I didn’t waste a postage stamp writing in Ralph Nader. Shame on me!
