RCV disenfranchises voters and confuses election officials. Its supporters are desperately hiding these facts from the public.
Voters in at least seven states will decide ballot measures this year concerning ranked-choice voting.
Perhaps it's because RCV undermines the principle of "One person, one vote." Depending on how voters fill out their ballots, they might be counted multiple times for different candidates, or they could be discarded altogether.
Ranked-choice voting is a tedious process where voters rank candidates by preference.
If voters mark their ballot for just one candidate, and the candidate doesn't make it to the final round, those voters' ballots are tossed out, effectively disenfranchising them.
After ballots were thrown out and votes redistributed, Peltola won with 51.5 percent of what was left.
Their scheme makes voting harder, leads to longer lines and more spoiled ballots, and creates new challenges for election officials, who sometimes struggle to understand it themselves.
Voters in Montana and across the nation cannot hope to match the money flowing in from out-of-state megadonors who are attempting to corrupt voting systems and manipulate their outcomes in favor of leftwing causes and candidates.
