A court-appointed special master report revealed on Tuesday that roughly 99 percent of challenged signatures collected for a pro-ranked-choice voting Arizona ballot measure are duplicates.
In his report, court-ordered Special Master and retired Arizona Superior Court Judge Christopher Skelly disclosed that 37,657 pairs of signatures gathered in support of Proposition 140 are, in fact, duplicates. As argued by the Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AZFEC), this discovery “now place[s] Proposition 140 thousands of signatures under the constitutionally required signature threshold to qualify for the [November] ballot.”
Proposition 140 would amend the Arizona Constitution by instituting an open primary system in which candidates of all parties run in the same primary. It also paves the way for the state to potentially adopt ranked-choice voting (RCV) for general elections.

Even if Proposition 140 is ultimately authorized by the courts, newly unearthed data indicates it faces an uphill battle in receiving voters’ approval.

When provided the summary of the initiative as described on the November ballot and asked how they would vote “if the election were today,” 46.5 percent of respondents said they would “strongly” or “somewhat” support it. Roughly one-third of those surveyed (32 percent) said they would “strongly” or “somewhat” oppose the amendment, while 18 percent said they would be “undecided.”
When respondents were given opponents’ arguments against Prop 140, however, support for the initiative declined by 13.5 percent. Data Orbital said that opponents classified the proposition as a “sprawling measure that adds 15 separate amendments to the Arizona constitution to implement California-style election schemes in Arizona.”

Honest Elections Project Executive Director Jason Snead told The Federalist the poll’s data telegraphs that even if Proposition 140 “somehow survives the ongoing court challenge, it is headed for defeat in November.”

More stuff is going to be coming out about Arizona shortly. Stay tuned.
No other Republican will be voted in once this is instituted.
Can we get a teaser?
Who would be advocating this and why?
99% is not widespread and common. Now, 100% might just get a look....
Arizona will be California-lite
To flood elections with rinos canceling them out
So, they’re cheating in their attempt to get a ballot initiative that, if passed, will make it easier for them to cheat.

Consider me tuned in!
I think you can game the system by voting in a certain manner. It plays to the side that is voting for people.
Exactly. They are trying to get it repealed in a few of the “test case” Cities up here as well.
Running in to the same kinds of fraud as well.
Maine also has RCV.
NYC has RCV for mayorals.
Blue bits, my backside.
???
Yeah, and which party wants RCV desperately? That’s right, the filthy rotten corrupt election thieving democrat party.
RCV will be on the ballot here in Idaho too. Too many Californians moving here.
as a long term AZ resident, I’m all ears
That’s why polls in Democrat areas are late. After closing, they vote for everyone that hasn’t voted.
