Rep. Abe Hamadeh, alongside Rep. Nick Begich, has introduced legislation in the House of Representatives aimed at banning ranked choice voting (RCV) in federal elections. This move is part of their efforts to promote election integrity.
• The Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act seeks to amend the Help America Vote Act to eliminate ranked choice voting, which Hamadeh describes as “confusing and disenfranchising. ”
• Ranked choice voting allows voters to rank candidates by preference, activating runoff elections if no candidate gets a majority of first-choice votes. Hamadeh argues this method undermines the principle of "one person, one vote. "
• Some states, including Arizona, have tried to implement ranked choice voting, which Hamadeh claims threatens fair elections.
• In his statement, Hamadeh criticized Democrats for supporting measures like non-citizen voting and same-day voter registration, suggesting they aim to help corrupt politicians rather than American voters.
• Rep. Begich also spoke against ranked choice voting, labeling it an unnecessary complication in the electoral process. He emphasized the importance of maintaining clear and straightforward voting methods.
• Hamadeh, who ran on a campaign promise of election integrity, has previously advocated for various measures, including voter ID requirements and penalties for election fraud.
• Other integrity bills introduced by Hamadeh include mandates for federal election ballots to be printed only in English and measures to uphold Trump’s executive orders related to election integrity, facing challenges from some Democratic state officials.
• Hamadeh’s recent introduction of this bill aligns with his five-point plan for election integrity, aiming to restore trust in the electoral process.
Rep. Abe Hamadeh's proposed bill to ban ranked choice voting reflects his commitment to election integrity and addresses concerns about the potential confusion it introduces to the electoral system. As he continues to fight for clearer election practices, this legislation aims to uphold the traditional voting method of "one person, one vote. "
