Just watching Dr Jill Stein on Tucker and she was commenting on Starbucks’ Shultz announcing a Presidential run. She said ‘we are no longer constrained by the two party system, you just have to pass ‘Rank Choice’. Maine has passed Rank Choice and it cost the Republicans a House seat. The Republican had the most votes, but those who voted for the 3rd party candidate could say who they wanted if the 3rd party candidate didn’t win. And of course, their second choice was the Dem. So, with those ‘second choice’ votes added in, the Dem was awarded the win.
It’s made California even a bigger sham than it already was when it comes to elections and representation.
Must the voter cast two votes, or just one?
Suppose the candidates are Democrat, Socialist, and Republican.
Are Republicans forced to vote for the Democrat or the Socialist as their 2nd place vote, or can they leave their 2nd choice blank, or even cast 1st and 2nd for the same candidate?
A rank choice indeed.
Another leftist ploy.
