Council elections show why the city should adopt ranked-choice voting By Editor On Nov 11, 2020 Last updated Nov 11, 2020 14 Share WITH 23 CANDIDATES vying for two at-large seats on the D.C. Council, it was inevitable that the winners would fail to secure a majority of the vote. Indeed, they didn’t even come close. At-large incumbent Robert White (D) got 26 percent of the vote while Christina D. Henderson (I) won with just 15 percent of the vote. That far more people voted against the two candidates than for them underscores the need for the District to follow the lead of other cities in adopting ranked-choice voting. 14 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
