ST. LOUIS — Five states have banned ranked choice voting in the last two months, bringing the total number of Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10.

Missouri could soon join them.

If approved by voters, a GOP-backed measure set for the state ballot this fall would amend Missouri’s constitution to ban ranked choice voting.

    FIVE STATES HAVE BANNED RANKED CHOICE VOTING IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS

    why the HECK am i just now learning about this??? and whenever i mention the need for strategic voting due to flaws with FPTP someone is always there to chirp at me to “just do RCV” as though i don’t know and no one is trying

    so you mean to tell me not only are those people who are trying are failing, AND we are moving backwards?

    we’re all going to fucking die, aren’t we

      I read this article earlier and that also stood out to me. I am literally a news junkie and can’t remember reading another article about this in the past 2 months
