FAQ
Question: Why should I rank five candidates on my ballot?
If you rank only one or two candidates and they are eliminated in one of the rounds of voting, your ballot can no longer voice your preferences. You would no longer have any say between candidates who you find more acceptable and those you find less acceptable. That means you lose influence in later rounds. This may result in a polarizing candidate like Cuomo being elected with support from a narrow base.
Question: Is Cuomo really that bad?
YES. Among many things, he is incompetent. That's why there are so many New Yorkers against Cuomo. CQuID reminds you to DREAM.
