The ballot measure would adopt ranked-choice voting for the nomination and election of president, members of Congress and statewide elected officials.

Wasn’t even close. 60/40.

    We had a referendum on ranked choice voting (referred to as AV at the time) here in the UK some years ago. The campaign against it was shocking. Well funded and extremely vocal. Bizarre lies and misinformation.

    Someome really hates changing FPTP.

        The funny thing is we just had a really unusual election where the right splintered and FPTP handed a landslide to the centre-left party.

        The right is probably going to flip and campaign against FPTP soon.

      Reducing extremism, reduces the impact of advertising, which means business loses influence… and the rich lose influence. So that is who hates ranked choice voting.
