With a State Senator using the ridiculous and refuted argument that Ranked Choice Voting is confusing, Senate Bill 355 passed in the Georgia Senate Ethics Committee on January 23, 2024.

Thanks to FairVote for the heads up!
Here’s the story from Politico, which includes a link to the actual Complaint. The Durst Organization v No Labels, New York Supreme Court, New York County.
This story mentions the bad ballot access legislation in Montana in 2023 that the Libertarian Party helped defeat.
The Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Campaign for President announced that it has completed the Independent petition for President in New Hampshire, which is 1,500 valid signatures of registered voters in each of The Granite State’s two Congressional Districts (3,000 total).
It is my understanding that these signatures were gathered at New Hampshire polling places yesterday. This shows how important it is to keep government-mandated non-electioneering areas outside polling places small.
Obviously, the signatures have not been checked yet by the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office, but I think it is safe to say that the validity rate on these signatures should be very high.
The other state on which he is now on the ballot is Utah.
Just when you think you’ve heard it all, you are informed that you haven’t.
