New Hampshire Bill Could Lead To Adoption of Approval Voting

Okian Warrior writes "The people at FreeKeene report: 'Four Republican state representatives have sponsored a bill that would replace first-past-the-post voting with approval voting for all state offices and presidential primaries. Under this system, voters would select every candidate they approve of (regardless of party), and the candidate with the highest overall vote total wins. This reduces strategic voting, and would often make elections easier for moderate and libertarian candidates. The bill, HB240, will have a public hearing Tuesday, February 1st, with the House Election Law committee.'"

Moderate and libertarian candidates .... so then

[unity100]

what about the left candidates ? before anyone talks nonsense - you do not have any left candidates, or a left party in america. what you think as left there is WAY too much to the right of anything that is considered left in any other part of the world - then again this is the source of your main problem - you are way too right aligned without anything to balance it, and you arent even aware of that.
