Ranked-Choice Voting Should Be Ranked Dead Last as an Election Reform

Ranked-choice voting (RCV) is a confusing, chaotic “reform” being pushed by mega-liberal political donors and other activists. It fundamentally changes the election process, effectively disenfranchises voters, and allows marginal candidates not supported by a majority of voters to be elected. It is a confusing and opaque process that robs voters of the ability to re-educate and re-examine the top two vote-getting candidates in a run-off election when one candidate does not initially win a majority, and it diminishes the ability of voters to make informed, knowledgeable choices of who would best represent them. Voters and state legislators—regardless of political affiliation—should oppose RCV as an ill-advised, imprudent election “reform” that would confuse and hurt voters.
