Ranked-Choice Voting Would Be Catastrophic for U.S. Elections

Posted on Blog by Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) · January 25, 2023 8:49 AM

Proposals to adopt ranked-choice voting (RCV) in states and localities across the country could lead to a full blown catastrophe for America’s elections. Look no further than major problems caused by RCV in Alaska and Oakland, California during the 2022 election cycle to get an idea of what widespread RCV could mean for the rest of the country.

ICYMI: A Ranked-Choice Voting Disaster in Oakland

Posted on Blog by Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) · January 06, 2023 3:57 PM

A ranked-choice voting (RCV) disaster occurred in Oakland, California's recent election after the wrong winner was likely declared in a school board race. Even worse, the mistake wasn't admitted until the end of last month. The Mercury News reported:

Here’s what went wrong in Oakland: The software provided by well-known elections firm Dominion Voting Systems allows cities and counties to activate a “suspended votes” feature that does not immediately count votes where the first-choice column is left blank but subsequent columns are filled.

ICYMI: Alaska's Ranked-Choice Voting Fail

Posted on Blog by Elizabeth Bradford El-Rassy · September 07, 2022 5:21 PM

Last month, Democrat Mary Peltola won a special election to fill the remainder of the late Alaska Congressman Don Young's term. But as Senator Tom Cotton pointed out, this was no ordinary election. Peltola reigned victorious, despite Republican candidates winning 60% of the vote, due to the use of ranked-choice voting (RCV).

60% of Alaska voters voted for a Republican, but thanks to a convoluted process and ballot exhaustion—which disenfranchises voters—a Democrat "won."

NYC Mayoral Election Shows How Bad Dems are at Running Elections

Posted on Blog by Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) · June 30, 2021 5:15 PM

New York City's mayoral primary election held last Tuesday shows us yet again just how bad Democrat cities are at running elections. The Associated Press reported that New York City's election was marred by errors after the Board of Elections was entirely "unprepared to implement" its new ranked-choice voting system.

BREAKING: Election officials in New York City have retracted their latest vote totals for the Democratic primary for mayor. They say 135,000 test ballots were inadvertently included in the count. https://t.co/mUvVW8k6VR

Maine’s “Ranked-Choice Voting” Election Process Selects First Congressman, a Democrat, in a Dramatic Reversal

Posted on Blog by Rich Kisielowski · November 15, 2018 3:40 PM

More than a week later, the full extent of the 2018 Midterm Elections is still finalizing with several important pending races across the nation. Perhaps one of the most interesting is that of Maine’s second congressional district, which is utilizing “ranked-choice voting” to elect its congressional representative—a first in the nation.

Today, in a dramatic reversal, this Maine race suddenly ended with the Democratic challenger named as the winner, despite trailing the Republican in the first round of vote counting. In just a matter of seconds, a computer algorithm reallocated voters' choices after eliminating lowest performing candidates.
