Maine Referendum to Save Ranked-Choice Voting is Two-Thirds Finished

Maine supporters of ranked-choice voting believe they are two-thirds finished collecting enough signatures to put ranked-choice voting on the 2018 primary ballot. The voters already passed an initiative for ranked-choice voting in 2016, but in 2017 the legislature virtually repealed it. The current petition, if it gets 61,123 valid signatures, will suspend the legislature’s action, at least until there is another vote of the people. The petition deadline is February 2.

  1. Unfortunately ranked choice voting (RCV) in single-winner districts creates a one-party system, the one party is the largest civic group who always wins, guaranteed 100% of the time.

    The United Coalition has been using RCV in multi winner districts correctly for more than twenty-two consecutive years which brings pure proportional representation (PR) and PR works fine.

  2. RCV = another rotted system to get rigged winners — like rigged winners in top 2 primaries.
