« on: December 13, 2022, 03:41:14 pm »


...Speaking to The New York Times last week, Raffensperger said he would petition the state legislature with three separate proposals. One would force large counties to open more locations for voting early. Another would lower the vote total needed to avoid a runoff from 50 percent to 45.

The third proposal is the most consequential, and the most interesting. Raffensperger will also state lawmakers to consider switching to a ranked choice ballot for future elections...

I suppose it's cheaper than a runoff.  Why not revert to plurality winner, like the vast majority of states?

How about we revert to voting in person with ID at precincts on paper ballots?

Comrade Briefers, if you want to know why the Republican party is dying (some might say by suicide), look no further than Brad Raffensperger.
