STAR Voting: We should be able to vote our conscience, our votes should never be wasted, and our elections should accurately reflect the will of the people.

- Replying to @AndrewYangIf NYC had STAR Voting you would have known exactly how much support you had, right away. Not just the 1st choices. RCV doesn't count all the rankings but STAR counts 100% of the ratings, and it gets more representative results because of it too. Have you checked it out yet?
- Score candidate from 0 up to 5 stars. 1. The two highest scoring candidates advance to the Automatic Runoff. 2. You vote goes to the finalist you prefer. The finalist preferred by the majority wins.
- The Ranked Choice lobby is on a full scale disinformation campaign saying that Eugene should vote no on STAR because of disenfranchisement concerns, but STAR specifically addresses that exact issue, which RCV has been proven again and again to exacerbate. This is Orwellian.
- Score your candidates from 0 up to 5 stars. The two highest scoring are finalists. The winner is the finalist preferred by the majority.
- No candidate should ever be accused of being a spoiler. No candidate should ever be discouraged from running because they supposedly aren't "electable." We can eliminate the spoiler effect and and remove these arguments from the conversation.
- The U.S. is in a perilous position right now. We need STAR voting in order to make politics work for the people, not divide and polarize us.
- With Biden dropping out from the presidential race and endorsing Harris, we decided to make a STAR poll to see who people want for the new Democratic VP. Vote to share your thoughts! dev.star.vote/68m34r
- STAR Voting is on the ballot in Eugene, Oregon, measure 20-349. Vote for better voting!
