Maine Republican Party Will Circulate Petition to Delay Ranked Choice Voting for President

According to this story, the Maine Republican Party is launching a referendum petition against the law that passed last year to use ranked choice voting for president in the 2020 general election, and in future presidential primaries and elections. If the party gets enough signatures, the measure would not be in effect in November 2020. Instead, the voters would vote on whether to retain ranked choice voting for president.

The petition drive would have no effect on using ranked choice voting for congressional elections.

  1. The Libertarian Party only uses the one-party and two-party voting systems.

    Maybe they should look in mirror instead. They only block, delete and censor the team bringing the correct math for pure proportional representation Electoral College.

    I know, I’ve been bringing the correct math for pure proportional representation since 1992, and in 1986 Clint Eastwood ran against us in Camel where Ronald Reagan coached him by bringing his campaign manager Sue Hutchinson.

    She was the genius bringing Tea Parties and that’s how our team united with the Boston Tea Party.

  2. See 2016 ME PREZ math in the FEC Federal Elections,2016.

    AppV for ALL elected exec/judic offices – pending Condorcet.

  3. Wait, I don’t understand this- does the Maine GOP actually have the power to block the use of RCV in the Presidential election with this petition?

  4. Yes, that is what referendum petitions do. If the petition gets enough signatures, the law is suspended. Then there is a public vote on that law, which of course stalls use of the law.

  5. Abolish *referendums* / suspension stuff.

    Voter pets for *positive* const amdts and laws.

  6. Just getting enough signatures, without a vote, blocking a law is a new one for me
    How many states do that?
