Republicans got 60% of the vote... ranked voting lost us the election.

Republicans got over 60% but split the vote. How do they like that "ranked choice" now? Sounds like something a losertarian would dream up.

“Republicans got 60% of the vote”

Interesting how they omitted that fact.

What is the strategy for ranked choice voting? A a Republican pre-primary primary?

Did the Republicans learn a lesson here or will they always be this stupid ?

How about the legislature vote on the single primary candidate. Sort of pre 17th amendment like.

Ranked voting is cheating.

Ranked voting is what screwed this up. Republican votes way outnumbered Rat votes, but Rats crossed over after the first vote and split the Republican vote. This is not a harbinger of November in any way.

That means someone has to drop our in November for the good of the party.

I’m trying to watch OHIO STATE vs. Notre Dame on Youtube TV and it’s not on. I thought those network disputes were settled. Not true?

They didn’t have an election, they had a rigged selection.

...and first Democrat in decades to be elected to fill the state’s lone House seat, edged out two formidable Republican challengers on Wednesday

Combine a three way race with two Republican challengers and then apply rank-choice-voting; Ta-da! The Dem wins.

Sure. The Republican candidates got 60% of the vote.

The warning should be that Democrats are using rank choice to thwart the will of the people.

Oh my!! did the washington generals lose to the globetrotters again? If the republicans don’t correct the fraud they can expect more of the same. How is mail-in ballots still a thing?
