The citizens of this country are allowed ‘one person, ONE VOTE’. Rank Chouce goes against everything our country stands for. This must be stopped! Rank Choice just gives Dems a ‘do-over’...... no 3rd party candidate ever takes votes from our side. This stinks!!

Big apologies for the vanity. I know there have been way too many these days. But Rank Choice had better be addressed, and before the next election!!

It will be left up to the states.

I oppose it.

I saw something like this in Tasmania, while I was in Australia.

It is a huge mess.

Dank Choice, the way of CA. Maine I think?

There is a push here to install Dank Choice here in MA. I browsed their table at the MA GOP convention last year, disgusted that they were allowed in the door.

Libertarians usually take votes from the Republican side. Run a good libertarian candidate and after the RATS lose because of this they will insist on changing the law back to where it was.

Just like Heisman trophy voting,BS

You described it well.

Let’s say someone voted for Johnson, but listed Trump as second choice. When Johnson is the bottom finisher, that vote goes to Trump.

Simple fact is, more of he people who showed up to vote liked the democrat. You solve that by finding more voters who like the republican candidare.

There are problems with rank choice which wont be solved because the two parties like winnjng.

For example. Imagine
Candidates A, B , C

A is preferred by 40%, B by 35%, and C by 25%.

Also, of C voters, 80% want B over A.

Also, of A voters, 90% want C over B, and 90% of B voters want C over A.

Rank chouce drops C, and 4/5tha of ghec25% go to B, and B wins 55 45. Sems fair, 55% of the voters preferred B to A.

But note, if A dropped, 9/10 of the 40% would go to C, and C would win 61% to 39%. And if B dropped, C would win 56.5 to 43.5.

By looking at 2 way matchups, we find that a lot more oeople will be “satisfied” by the outcome if C wins, rather than A or B. But because C wasnt the first choice, Bends up winning. If the people who voted for A Knew there gue would lose, theyd vote for C

This is really popular among the Millennials. I am having an email discussion with one who just cant get it through his head that this is allowing someone to vote more than once ... they argue that its only one ranking list and so only one vote. They equate it to a "run off" election on a single ballot. It's terrifying because of course the touchy feeley libs will be more willing to include more rankings and therefore have more votes as all their early candidates get eliminated.
For example in a 16 person election, a single voter could rank the candidates in exactly backwards popularity and their vote would cascade up the list till it landed on one of the top two. That sure sounds like 15 votes to me.

one person one vote - rank choice is some people two votes, imo that’s wrong.

It’s made California even a bigger sham than it already was when it comes to elections and representation.

A rank choice indeed.

Another leftist ploy.
