Excerpt:

The Young Progressives Demanding Action (YPDA) Hawaiʻi chapter is hosting a beer tasting event tonight to demonstrate ranked choice voting. Ranked choice voting is an electoral reform that would change how voting in political elections works.

“What we end up with is a candidate who actually has broad support. Whether it was your first, second or third choice, you’ll find a candidate that most people can support.

It really encourages candidates to talk to everybody and build that broad base of consensus.”
