South Dakota outlawed Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), which purportedly favors the left and works against conservative candidates.

Conservatives in the state legislature scored a major win on March 22 by becoming the first state this year to ban ranked choice voting in elections, with Idaho potentially following suit, reported The Federalist.

“Ranked-Choice Voting will never be part of South Dakota elections. I signed a bill to ban this process, and I signed 11 other bills to make our election laws the strongest in the nation,” said Republican governor Kristi Noem via Twitter.

Florida and Tennessee, in addition to South Dakota, have also banned the use of RCV in state elections in 2022.

In addition to Idaho, other states have also considered banning the controversial voting system, including Alaska, North Dakota, Texas, Arizona, Maine, and Montana.

The new bill received overwhelming support in the state’s House of Representatives (63-5) and Senate (31-4).

Good for South Dakota.
This should be the law in ALL of the red states, and perhaps in a few purple states (if possible).

We know which way the blue states are gonna go.
180 degrees the opposite...
