Restrictive Bills in Minnesota Legislature Unlikely to Pass

The Minnesota legislature ends its 2018 session in a month. The bills to prevent local jurisdictions from using ranked-choice voting for their own elections seem unlikely to pass. SF 3325 had passed the Senate Government Finance & Elections Committee on March 14, but has made no further headway and is now in another Senate Committee. HF 3690, the identical bill in the House, never made any progress.

The bill to move the primary from August to June passed the House Government Operations & Elections Committee on March 1, but it hasn’t made any progress since then either. It would have the indirect effect of moving the petition deadline for independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties from June to April. Also it would have moved the deadline for the new party petition from May to March.

Restrictive Bills in Minnesota Legislature Unlikely to Pass — 4 Comments

  1. FairVote and CoFOE have proudly supported RCV in single winner districts like those in Minnesota and have viciously opposed pure proportional representation (PPR) along with Green, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian Parties and all parties and they all allow the plurality voting which provides the fuel for the unending attacks on the United Coalition’s since 1992 in Santa Cruz California.

    Despite their strong efforts to censor and snuff out the progress our team continues to provide the 100% support while winning with majorities such as the 52.7% Missouri primary which was of no interest to their work.

    In 2018 our team is stable and celebrates consistent regeneration on multiple geographic levels for future actions as the moat exciting unity phenomena sweeping the globe.

  2. RCV ignores most of the data in a Place Votes Table

    — WILL elect Extremists — when *divided* *Moderates* get wiped out before the remaining final two.

    See earlier postings.

    For partisan offices — Do ONLY the top 2 partisan primary regimes have *EQUAL* ballot access laws — for ALL party candidates and for ALL independent candidates ???

    —-
    NO primaries
    PR and AppV – pending Condorcet

  3. Supporters of RCV in San Francisco have cemented a far worse scenario in more racially balanced area like Texas, Alabama and Georgia where the biggest factions will get supermajories. They want it to be more unfair than that in pluralist single winner districts where some random wins can happen obly because of the “split vote” problem.

    Pure proportional representation prohibits all single-winner districts, yes/no votes, all forms of bogus inventions like the “2/3rds majority requirement”.

    They have set PPR back for decades with this RCV in single-winner districts over the past twenty-three consecutive years.

  4. The party bosses are making sure that no United Coalition can work together in 2018.

    If our team does our job, stays professional and works hard to nurture unity under pure proportional representation (PPR), only then will our team have a chance for full representation in 2018, despite the pluralist momentum in every state in the USA.
