Now let's see if they have the guts to push it through or if this is just political theatre.

Burchett, APL, Gill and Crane will push hard. The Establishment RINOs will push back harder.

I want this to move forward and pass, but it's a pipe dream at best with the Swamper Squad in command of the overwhelming majority of Congress.

Vote your top 3 in order. 1st gets 3 points, 2nd gets 2, 3rd gets 1. Points tallied, person with the most points wins


This is not how I understand it to work. The way I understand it to work is you rank as many as you want. If no candidate has 50% ranked as #1, you take the candidate with the fewest 1s and eliminate them and the people that had them ranked 1 would have their #2 elevated. You continue the process until someone reaches majority.

In theory, if there were 7 Rs on the ballot and 1 D, and the population was 51% R, you would avoid a runoff between the top R and the D. Might have kept John Bel out of governorship. What happens in a state like Alaska is that you get a split on the 1s, but a RINO incumbent is the overwhelming 2, the RINO gets reelected.

What are these?


Ranked choice allows Dems to eliminate the Pub candidate in open primaries where its not done by party rather top vote getters. Its a scam
