Ranked Choice Voting got a lot of press this last year, especially regarding Alaska\u2019s special & general elections pitting former right wing republican Governor Sarah Palin against moderate democrat Mary Peltola. And Mary Peltola WON, becoming the first indigenous congresswoman from Alaska. Both elections were held via Ranked Choice Voting.\n\nrankthevoteohio.org\n\nGrassRoot Ohio - Conversations with everyday people working on important issues, here in Columbus and all around Ohio.\nEvery Friday 5:00pm, EST on 94.1FM & streaming worldwide @ WGRN.org,\nSundays at 2:00pm EST on 92.7/98.3 FM and streams @ WCRSFM.org, and Sundays at 4:00pm EST, at 107.1 FM, Wheeling/Moundsville WV on WEJP-LP FM.\nContact Us if you would like GrassRoot Ohio on your local station.\nCheck us out and Like us on Face Book: https://www.facebook.com/GrassRootOhio/\nCheck us out on Instagram:\nhttps://www.instagram.com/grassroot_ohio/\nIf you miss the Friday broadcast, you can find it here: All shows/podcasts archived at SoundCloud! https://soundcloud.com/user-42674753\n\nGrassRoot Ohio is now on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../grassroot-ohio/id1522559085\n\nThis GrassRoot Ohio interview can also be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAX2t1Z7_qae803BzDF4PtQ/\n\nIntro and Exit music for GrassRoot Ohio is "Resilient" by Rising Appalachia: https://youtu.be/tx17RvPMaQ8\nThere's a time to listen and learn, a time to organize and strategize, And a time to Stand Up/ Fight Back!
