I’m noticing a certain pattern that is not at all surprising.
Looks like the bible belt hates freedom once again.
The given reason is that the voters are too dumb to understand how rcv works. That is not a coincidence.
As someone that lives down here, they’re not entirely wrong…
Oregon has state wide ranked choice voting on the ballot this year.
We’ve had local RCV but only for select elections.
They really need to simplify the ballots a bit more to make them usable for mainstream use, especially for those with poor eyesight, cognitive issues, or language barriers.
I’m in a blue state and we don’t have ranked choice voting. Marking the entire state blue because it’s available in a few districts for local elections is misleading at best, and disingenuous & deceitful at worst.
Somebody didn’t read the map legend.
