David C. Kimball, professor of political science, chatted with Salon about New York’s experiment with ranked-choice voting in the upcoming mayoral election. Kimball, an expert on the subject, said the greatest challenge for the New York City Board of Elections will be creating some kind of centralized vote-counting operation. However, despite the challenges, he added that ranked-choice voting encourages more people to run for local office.
