The Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee had been set to hear testimony on SB 2271. However, on February 20 the Committee postponed the hearing to March 13. The bill, along with its companion, HB 638, prohibits any municipality from using ranked choice voting for its own elections. The voters of Memphis had voted to use ranked choice voting, but the city council is trying to negate that vote and actively worked to get these bills introduced.

Everyone please help our team and spread the word. We oppose thumbs up and all forms of plurality votes because there is one way for the perfection of pure proportional representation PPR and that is RCV ranked choice voting in multiple winner districts of two or more. No other way is acceptable except PPR.
No yes verses no votes ever allowed because yes or no are not numerals and we require the numerals beginning with #1, and followed by consecutive numerals, otherwise is not democratically legitimate.

This is always a great indicator of a good election reform. If the incumbents try to ddestroy the law before it can go into effect, you know it will be better for the voters.
PR and AppV – pending Condorcet — which PROPERLY uses those 1, 2, etc, numerals aka numbers.
