On December 16, the Washington, D.C. city council defeated a bill to postpone using ranked choice voting for a year. Voters voted for RCV in 2024, but some council members thought the Board of Elections isn’t ready to handle it. The bill was defeated 5-8, so the city will proceed to get ready for RCV. Its first use will be in partisan primaries in June 2026. It will also be used in November 2026.
RCV will probably make it easier for minor party candidates for citywide partisan office to poll 7,500 votes. New parties become ballot-qualified in D.C. if they have a nominee for any citywide city office, or Delegate to the U.S. House, who polls 7,500 votes.
Vote quotas for ballot access are censorship and censorship is fascism.
RCV supports communism.

A campaign for a 2026 ballot measure to overhaul Michigan elections by allowing voters to rank their preferred candidate in order of preference has halted its signature collection efforts.
“Rank MI Vote has paused its statewide signature gathering as it builds momentum toward an eventual statewide win for Ranked Choice Voting in Michigan,” Rank MI Vote’s Executive Director Pat Zabawa said in a statement Dec. 18. “However, we are leaving all options on the table for the future of our movement.”
