Missouri joins other red states in trying to stamp out ranked choice voting
ST. LOUIS — Five states have banned ranked choice voting in the last two months, bringing the total number of Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10.
Missouri could soon join them.
If approved by voters, a GOP-backed measure set for the state ballot this fall would amend Missouri’s constitution to ban ranked choice voting.
You're viewing a single thread.
We believe in the one person, one vote system of elections that our country was founded upon,” Missouri state Sen. Ben Brown, the ballot measure’s sponsor, said in an interview
Ranked choice is one person one vote. One person enters the voting booth and votes once. It's not as though ranked choice voting gives some people the opportunity to vote multiple times, every voter is allowed to rank the candidates one time.
Idiots using lies to scare other idiots into following them. People need more education and experience with RCV.
And STAR voting!
I support STAR voting, but RCV has a lot more momentum. We shouldn’t let the two get in the way of each other. Vote for RCV now if your city has momentum, work towards STAR in the future, unless STAR is already popular in your city. People are easily overwhelmed.
