The document discusses the topic of ranked choice voting and its impact on voter turnout and political representation. It mentions an article from Cato Unbound that argues that ranked choice voting may lead to lower turnout and more errors, but does not have a significant effect on ethnicity. The writer expresses skepticism about this claim and suggests that ranked choice voting could increase the diversity of candidates by allowing for the election of centrists who are closer to the median voter's preferences. However, the document also mentions an argument that ranked choice voting increases turnout, but only if voters are given the option to rank as many or as few candidates as they like. The writer concludes that this topic is a "big nothingburger" and not worth discussing in depth.
