ORLANDO, Fla. — Loki Mole is a 19-year-old senior at the University of Central Florida, majoring in political science. He also wants to completely upend how Florida does its elections.
Mole, who was born in Winter Park and grew up in Palm Bay, is spearheading a proposed ballot amendment that would create what’s known as ranked-choice voting in all general elections in Florida.
It’s the longest of long shots, experts say. But for Floridians, it’s an introduction to an innovative yet controversial voting method that’s becoming increasingly popular across the nation.
