No Ranked Choice Voting
Ranked Choice Voting effectively disenfranchises voters by causing confusion when casting ballots, and doesn’t facilitate proper vetting of candidates’ positions. A separate run-off election where the top remaining candidates can be vetted and offer the electorate a chance to cast an informed ballot is the way to ensure authentic self-government.
Ranked-Choice Voting Is So Bad, Even DC Dems Are Rejecting It
Despite D.C. Democratic Party opposition, RCV may still be instituted for the city beginning in the 2026 elections.
“We acknowledge that RCV may be a suitable option for certain jurisdictions, however, when considering the District’s specific circumstances, we have identified significant concerns that prevent us from endorsing this approach,” a statement released by party leaders on Wednesday reads. “[The] fundamental issue we identified is that District wards are not equal in terms of voter turnout. Implementing RCV would not adequately address this disparity and could potentially undermine the democratic principles we strive to uphold.”

Andy Bakker of the Illinois Opportunity Project said the measure has the opposite effect and will limit the opportunity for fair elections.

Central to our belief that an undesirable status quo can be changed through civil persuasion and peaceful engagement is confidence in the integrity of the election system. Unfortunately, according to another Gallup poll, such confidence (again, especially among Republicans), has dropped significantly.

Georgia Could Be the Next State To Try Ranked Choice Voting
Currently, Georgia is one of only two states that requires runoffs for both primary and general elections if no candidate receives a majority. A 2021 law shortened the time between the general and the runoff from nine weeks to four. With only a month in which to vote and barely enough time to request, receive, and return a mailed ballot, voters in large counties contended with long lines at the polls. The state also spent millions to conduct the second election, including more than $10 million in the Atlanta metro area alone.
