Nine states reject "ranked choice" voting in referenda | Eastern NC Now

voters reject a bad system

ENCNow

Nine states voted on the controversial "rnaked choice" election system Tuesday, and voters shot it down in all nine.  Missouri voted on a Constituional amendment to prohibit it in their elections.  Alaska voted to repeal a ranked choice system narrowly adopted a few years ago.  Most states voted to reject proposals to implement ranked choice.  In most cases, the vote to reject ranked choice was overwhelming.

Ranked choice is a confusing election system often favored by leftists and globalists. In Alaska, wealthy liberals spent lots of money to try to save ranked choice, outspending its opponents by 100 to 1 but still losing.

British voters also soundly rejected ranked choice voting in a referendum a decade ago.  Australia has used it for years and trading preferences among small parties has led to the tiny Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party winning a federal senate seat a decade ago and the Sex Party narrowly falllng short of winning a federal senate seat more recently.
