PING!
Coming to nevaDUH!
it VIOLATES the one man one vote principle... not try and try again
They know that Trump wins any 3-way (or 4-way) race, REGARDLESS of the Democrat, as very few Trump voters will vote for the other options.
Ranked choice, effectively, means that the NeverTrumpers, plus Democrats get to add their totals together and use them against Trump. This has to be STOPPED.
Since when do we vote for 3 people?? This makes it a rigged election.
I do not understand why, with modern electronics, ranked choice results would require more than a few seconds to calculate, given one knows the “state” or all ballots cast.
The problem for Democrats is the tendency of the left to fracture into splinters. If all Ralph Nadar’s votes in Florida were counted for Al Gore, Gore would have been president in 2001. I am not the only one who noticed. The “cure” is to let splinters have their hissy fits and vote for the most left-wing green candidate, but still have their votes count for the Democrat if the race is close, and their votes can be decisive.
Donald better put this on the front burner.

It actually does only take a few seconds to calculate a rank choice race. But you must collect and count the first round to determine the order of proceeding for the ballot count.
Even in place like Portland, Maine, all of the vote tally lash drives must be delivered to city hall to be loaded on one computer. Then checked to make sure they match the preliminary totals. Once that is done, you just push the button and it spits out the results of the multiple rounds.
There is a chart in this article showing the election result of our latest mayor’s race. [If someone can post it directly I would appreciate it].
BTW, the good guy won this race as the four liberal candidates split the rest of the votes.
Yeah. I got accosted in the Reno DMV parking lot a year ago by signature gathering people. I knew it was a leftist ploy.
This is how Sarah Palin got beat in Alaska during the midterms. They put in Rank Choice Voting at the last minute.
Biden’s weaponizing the DOJ and using lawfare against Trump to trip him up. Biden lowered himself to fix the system to get Trump charged in multiple court cases leading into 2024....but its NOT working.
So now frantic Democrats desperately turn to The Cheat.....
using Ranked Choice Voting in the Battleground States to stop Trump.
This fraudulent type of voting system negates the effect of
third party candidates who would draw votes away from Biden.
Nervous Dems are desperately hyping RCV in a sophomoric “instructional” video.
You are correct.
Even 20 years ago, computers could have easily handled secure voting.
Using 60 year old technology with “voting machines” is nonsense.
I have know why the RATS back it but I have no idea why the GOP refuses to back a change.
You stop rank choice voting by making sure election to all offices is by a plurality. That is ho we have stopped it for my offices in Maine including Governor. In Maine RCV is used for federal offices as it is not enshrined in the constitution. Thus our debacle several years ago in the second district.
The Secretary of State for the time being shall, on the first Wednesday after the first Tuesday of January then next, lay the lists returned to the secretary’s office before the Senate and House of Representatives to be by them examined, together with the ballots cast if they so elect, and they shall determine the number of votes duly cast for the office of Governor, and in case of a choice by plurality of all of the votes returned they shall declare and publish the same.
The State Republican Party has voted to not use RCV in our Presidential Preference Primary next March.
RCV did not kick in for the last presidential race as Trump won the second district with 51.72% of the total votes and Biden won the first district with 59.46%. Combined Biden won the state with 52.53% of the vote.
I had not done a deep dive on our presidential vote totals and just noticed that 67,657 more votes were cast in our southern more liberal district.
This has triggered me to take a look at the numbers in prep 2024.
They put this bullshit in Alaska in 2020.
Seems like all the RINOs and Democrats won a large majority of the open seats.
We are trying to get it overturned but probably won’t happen in time for 2024.
Yep, BTTT
Spot on
Many years ago when I was still a democrat a friend - a local member of the democratic executive committee explained how the math worked and why and when to use this and in what circumstances... She said Republicans were too stupid to figure it out. I should have paid attention. Trump needs to find a mathematician and unlock the secrets of this scam/advantage...
