Ever wonder why Democrats push rigged choice voting, err "ranked choice voting," so hard? It *must* help them cheat somehow. I may have figured it out: they *love* to vote more than once. RCV automatically, legally, and officially lets them do that.
It gets interesting when one considers how confusing RCV is. How many people only vote once, not knowing how RCV works? Fraud is easier to prove in regular, one person, one vote elections if the number of votes exceeds the number of voters. But it's a lot harder to tell if the Democrats had their thumb on the scales in RCV since each voter may have cast five different votes, or just one.
Democrat elitists think it's okay to steal elections because us "hillbilly, inbred, racist, superstitious religious zealots" who don't believe in "science" shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway, in their opinion. Who else thinks they'll attempt to impose "literacy tests" in the near future?
Imagine having to meet an "education requirement" before voting by giving the "correct" answer to questions such as, "Does God exist?" "Are minor attracted persons born that way?" "Do you feel guilty for being white?" "How many people of color have died from climate change caused by white men?"
Or the left might make having a college degree a prerequisite for voting, knowing college graduates get exposed to "progressive" propaganda that would make Marx and Che blush with shame.
Lastly, maybe Republicans should start stealing elections here and there. The Democrat propaganda ministry, aka "the media," would pounce on that and shout it from the mountain tops. Thus the regime would be admitting it *is* possible to steal elections. Up until now they've been smugly claiming, "Oh, no, American elections are 100% honest! It's impossible to rig one!"
Also, such hypothetical Republican altered elections would certainly get overturned. Rectifying a stolen election is just about impossible, up until now. But let Democrats overturn Republican voter fraud, and they've just proven it *can* be done...
I saw an ad a few weeks ago trying to get Ranked Choice Voting on the ballot here in Arizona. So I suspect we will be next.
After what happened on Tuesday in Ohio, don’t be surprised if RCV isn’t on the the ballot next November in that state.
NYC now has it for a reason.
The fools in Minneapolis adopted ranked choice cheating a couple cycles back. It pretty much ensures there will never be another non-communist mayor, and city council.
One only needs to scan the headlines to see how that’s working out.
4000 carjackings so far, street crimes through the roof, minorities hit hardest...by other minorities.
Ranked Choice Voting is a 100% Leftist construct. Like the Motor Voter endeavor.
I am certain that if you were to take 100 people off the street and ask them to explain Ranked Choice voting, not a single one of them would be able to explain it cogently or correctly.
I happened to be in Maine a few years (2017) ago when Jared Golden was running for Congress up there.
I was in a noisy bar in Boothbay Harbor, watching a football game, and could hear no sound from the television. A political commercial came on, and without being able to hear what was being said, I watched the video with interest.
They showed him in all his gear as a Marine over in Iraq or Afghanistan, decked out, sunglasses, armed to the teeth, then it showed him on a firing range somewhere, ear protection, etc.
I remember thinking that was a good sign. We need that.
Didn’t know who he was, whether he was a Democrat or Republican. Then, I found out afterwards that not only was his record on gun rights was spotty and even sucked (he got a rating of “D” from some 2nd Amendment watchdog group) and he was a Democrat. ( have heard he has since done better re: 2nd Amendment rights, probably on a single vote he took H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446, but that was probably a safe vote for him to take against it as they had enough RINO votes to pass it in the House. He probably got permission to vote against it from the leadership)
He won his campaign in the 2018 mid-terms on the basis of Ranked Choice Voting. That was the first I had heard of it. From an NPR account:
“...While Golden was behind Poliquin by roughly 2,000 votes after initial voting, he won in the second round of the runoff by picking up second- and third-choice rankings from voters who chose independents Tiffany Bond and Will Hoar as their first or second choices on Election Day. The final vote was 50.53 percent to 49.47 percent, or about 3,000 votes...”
That is the proof in the pudding. That is EXACTLY what Leftists want to accomplish. And USMC Veteran or not, he is a Democrat, which is, in my view, a blemish, and a disgraceful one.
RCV is unconstitutional from the get-go. If the vote spread triggers the internal algorithms, your vote is counted more than once. That violates the USC one man one vote provision.
RCV is also easy to rig in many places. It involves one party putting several candidates on the ballot all but one designated as belonging to the opposition party. This usually splits the opposition vote.
What if you don’t have a second choice, it screws up the whole vote outcome potentially. It’s stupid.
