Apparently the commie pinko hippies in Boise got enough signatures to get Ranked Choice voting on our ballot this November. I doubt they will get enough votes for it to pass.
I have always thought of it as a tool for a minority party to use to try and dilute the candidates from the other side. I notice it doesn't seem to be a popular concept in California. It seems like it pops up more in purple states, and always benefits the dems.
I learned about it making it on our ballot from the Idaho 2nd Amendment Alliance, and something I was unaware of is that you MUST rank candidates. In other words, you have to assign a number to every candidate running for an office. If you only approve of one candidate and hate the rest, and you only rank that candidate and not the others, they throw away your ballot. So in essence, you are forced to vote for people who you may vehemently disagree with. There is nothing American about that.
