Could elections in Illinois benefit from a change in how we vote?

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Fair Vote, a non-partisan election reform group, advocates for a move to ranked-choice voting. Under the system, voters have the ability to rank as many candidates as they want in order of preference. Geoffrey Cubbage, secretary of the Illinois Green Party, says an election reform like this already is a part of his party’s platform.

McCALEB: What’s real as the primary election approaches

(Illinois News Network) -- Everyone who watches even just a bit of TV or who checks their mailboxes every now and then knows there's an election around the corner.

Illinois Policy: Illinois lawmakers stampede for the exit

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois Policy Institute) -- The most likely driver is pretty obvious to most Illinoisans: the rage of constituents.
