    We need ranked choice voting and compulsory voting. The people who could add their votes and make a difference don’t vote because “one vote doesn’t make a difference”. We make voting compulsory and you’re gonna see a lot of people that can’t afford the fine for not voting turn out

      Before mandatory voting, first the day of elections needs to be a mandatory day off, with large fines to anything but the most absolute essential emergency services running.

        Run the elections over two or three days, and require absolutely everyone to be given at least two of them off, no exceptions.
