In elections for a slate of officers, Ranked Choice Voting results in a group of elected officials that more accurately represent the diversity within the voter population. Currently, the majority party in Congress can elect all the Congressional leaders, and maintain strong control over the legislative processes, without much accountability to Congressional representatives outside their own party. Ranked choice voting results in the election of Congressional leaders who have strong support in either party or have broad nonpartisan support. The resulting leadership is thus a more democratic representation of the Congress as a whole.
