What is Ranked Choice Voting?
RCV elections are just like a standard "first-past-the-post" election, except you can have backup choices. If your top pick has no chance of winning, you'll still have a say: your vote will count for your next choice.

- Infrastructure Updates: We'd like to use enable autoscaling to better support the influx of users and uploads on election night, as well as other infrastructure updates for stability and speed.
- "Blue Check" Verification: We'd like a system for displaying when a visualization hosted on RCVis has been vetted by an election administrator.
- User Dashboard: We'd like to provide users a method for managing their own visualizations, including modifying them, deleting them, and marking them as private.
