Lee Drutman is author of “Breaking the Two Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multi-party Democracy in America.” He says introducing ranked choice voting would make it more likely that other political parties would emerge beyond just the two we have now.
Drutman's book argued for abolishing party primaries as well, and for using ranked choice voting to elect members of Congress as well.
Drutman is a senior fellow in the Political Reform program at New America.
