Ranked Choice Voting Is a Bad Choice | The Heritage Foundation"You will not believe what “reformers” have devised to tinker with and manipulate our elections.
It is called ranked choice voting (or “instant runoff voting”)—but it is really a scheme to disconnect elections from issues and allow candidates with marginal support from voters to win elections.
In the end, it is all about political power, not about what is best for the American people and for preserving our great republic.
So-called reformers want to change process rules so they can manipulate election outcomes to obtain power.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Ranked choice voting is a scheme to disconnect elections from issues and allow candidates with marginal support from voters to win.
- It obscures true debates and issue-driven dialogs among candidates and eliminates genuine binary choices between two top-tier candidates.
- It also disenfranchises voters, because ballots that do not include the two ultimate finalists are cast aside to manufacture a faux majority for the winner.
