Didn't they pass a law in Florida making rank choice illegal preemptively? Yeah the absolute last thing the oligopoly will allow is democracy. Something something the ballot or the bullet
One thing that gives me a little investment in electoralism is that we all know the old quote “if voting changed anything they’d make it illegal.”
Well they’re making it illegal alright.
Ranked choice voting is also a dead end if the choices are constrained. In Australia we have ranked voting and mandatory voting, but net result is a centre-left and centre-right party who we flip between every 3/6/9 years with some shuffling around of minor parties. If it's isn't made illegal it's made toothless.
Ohio (or at least Columbus) also has this too
Missouri did this. They had it on the ballot and it said something along the lines “do you want to ban ranked choice voting and also prevent noncitizens from voting?” Shit pisses me tf off cos it easily tricked anyone who didn’t know what ranked choice was (including my lib father who’s in favor of ranked choice as a concept after I explained it to him)
HOW IS A NON CITIZEN GOING TO VOTE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. YOU LITERALLY JUST HAD YOUR ID SCANED AND YOUR SIGNATURE SCRUTINIZED LESS THAN TWO MINUTES AGO.
