Will ranked-choice voting rewrite Colorado's elections? Prop. 131 explained.
About this episode
Voters this fall will decide whether to change how Colorado selects its leaders in the future, by doing away with partisan primaries and ranking candidates in general elections. These reforms are part of a national effort backers say could help push politics back toward the center, and that opponents warn could further erode trust in elections.
Hosts Andrew Kenney and Bente Birkeland explain how Prop. 131 would work, introduce you to the multi-millionaire behind it, and break down how these reforms have worked in other states.
This episode was produced by Shane Rumsey and edited by Megan Verlee.
