North Dakota Governor Vetoes Bill that Forces Fargo to Stop Using Approval Voting

On April 6, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, a Republican, vetoed HB 1273. This is the bill that bans charter cities and town from using Approval Voting and also Ranked Choice Voting for elections for their own officers. Fargo, the largest city in the state, uses Approval Voting. No place currently uses Ranked Choice Voting.

On Friday, April 7, the House will consider whether to override the veto. See this story. Thanks to Daniel Ong for the link.

  1. I suppose if one supports more authoritarian state/federal government then sure, oppose officials like Burgum. But folks who support the ability of communities to have local government and for that government to have some decision making power, are probably cheering him on. That includes me.

  6. Oh my God you fucking retard. Your boy Biden is the tyrant. You are so jealous of Trump.

    You really think Bragg and Soros did not because of politics? No wonder no one takes you seriously.

  7. Better watch it. AZ will unleash his magical power of losing ballot access cases.

  9. Richard removed the comment making fun of AZ’s pathetic record in court since the days of polyester suits and bellbottoms. Why do you defend this moron?

  10. The only other thing was what he himself previously said. That he is and was not a licensed attorney. Used to bring pro se lawsuits that were laughed out of court back in the Fred Flintstone Bedrock era. Now condescending to actual attorneys for “losing since 1970” or 1968 or 1950something or whatever. Even though they bust their ass, often for free, and at least sometimes win. Unlike him. Oh yeah there was some crack about someone who represents themselves having a fool for a client or something similar. I think…what else? Anyone remember????

  11. I am glad for the veto, although there is a good chance the legislature may override the veto. So, maybe the issue gets addressed via a lawsuit or a state ballot measure.

  12. Can someone please clean up this site and get rid of the malicious leftist troll or two going under a bunch of clearly fake names like Eddie Brown, A(ndy) Z, Arden/Alden/Aiden (Also Z? AZ??), BOB A. STICK, Joshua H, Mike Pogue-Mahoney, Ogle/Not Ogle, Dummy Rap, and too many others to name??? You can recognize him/her/them/it because:

    1. Clearly spamming
    2. Nuts
    3. Double standards everywhere
    4. Smug, arrogant and condescending
    5. Incompetent, insecure, false and pretentious air of fake superiority
    6. Not backed up by anything – all hat, no cattle
    7. Commies / leftards / democrats sometimes openly commie and sometimes less openly or gray (fake centrist) yet in reality every bit as Looney left
    8. Soylent greens
    9. Globalist depopulation agenda
    10. LEFTLGBTQQIAPP+TARD AGENDA
    11. TRANNY TYRANNY
    12. ANTI FREE SPEECH
    13. ANTI FREE RELIGION ; FAKE XIAN, FAKE SECULARISM, OR FAKE ATHEISM, AND SOMETIMES MORE, SOMETIMES LESS HONEST SATANISM
    14. LUCIFER / ILLUMINATI
    15. LEFT WING FASCIST
    16. PROJECTING / TRANSFERANCE / TRANS / TRANCE / CRYBULLY / DEFLECTION / FINGER POINTING
