De Blasio still not decided on ranked-choice voting, wants more analysis

“What I like is someone’s vote having power through multiple rounds and not being lost or spoiled because, you know, a candidate they liked didn’t win in the first round. I liked the fact that we don’t go to a runoff, and runoffs, unfortunately, so often were lower turnout,” he said. “But I like that if — if there was relative equality in how people utilize their ballots. In other words, if, in more privileged and less privileged communities, you saw consistent voting one through five, or as close to that as possible, everyone maximizing the power of the ballot. We don’t have that analysis yet.”
