Dear Colleagues:  I am looking for co-sponsors for the following resolution:

"The Libertarian National Committee supports Question 5 in Maine on the ballot on November 8, 2016."

Information:  If Question 5 passes, Maine will use Ranked Choice Voting in all elections starting on January 1, 2018, for Governor, State House, State Senate, US House of Representatives and US Senate.

Why I support Question 5 (and have made a personal donation to RCV Maine):  RCV would, at the very least, do away with the "Wasted Vote Syndrome" associated with third party and independent candidates.  This would, at least, lead to more earned media and fewer debate exclusions.  I think if RCV were being used for this Presidential election, Gary Johnson and Bill Weld would have been included in all four debates.

I ask my colleagues to co-sponsor this email ballot and to vote "Yes" on it.

Thanks, Bill Redpath
