Prop. 131: Ranked-Choice is the scam that can erase your vote
Ranked-choice voting (RCV), Proposition 131 on Colorado’s November ballot, is such a drastic perversion of our nation’s 247-year election standard of one person/one vote that voting for it risks actually losing your vote.
Rather than an improvement in election bi-partisanship and choice — its boosters are spending more than $8 million to convince voters, in practice, the candidates that get the most votes can lose, and those with the fewest votes may come out the winners. And your vote can even be trashed, thrown out, if you don’t follow the complicated directions.
This initiative would replace party primary ballots with “jungle” primaries for governor, treasurer, attorney general, secretary of state, state board of education, University of Colorado regent, and state and federal legislative seats...
Confused? Here’s a video showing just how it works. Spoiler: the candidate in third place at the start eventually wins!...
Instead of the traditional election, in which the candidate who gets the most votes wins, ranked-choice voting insists the winning candidate must achieve more than 50% — just because they say so. But it’s a fake 50%, since many votes for the candidate are not really earned, but computed by transferring second-, third- and fourth-place votes the “winning” candidate didn’t actually receive at the start...
If you care about election integrity, you will run, not walk, from ranked-choice voting. Since this convoluted system is entirely dependent on computers to run the multiple logarithmic calculations to redistribute votes in round after round, the final vote cannot be recounted or audited...
... multi-millionaire Kent Thiry bought the 213,000 signatures he needed to put Ranked-choice Voting Prop. 131 on the November ballot. Thiry is the former CEO of multi-billion-dollar kidney dialysis giant DaVita, headquartered in Denver. Instead of concerned citizens carrying hundreds of petitions in hopes to put an initiative on the ballot, Thiry and his pals paid Josh Penry’s Blitz Canvassing in Denver $2,227,250 to collect petition signatures...
The ranked-choice gang claim their voting scheme is non-partisan. But take a look at the cheerleaders for ranked-choice. Start with the America-hating radical George Soros, and add Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, John Kerry, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Elizabeth Warren, Eric Swalwell, Adam Kinzinger, and our own Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet and U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse. Would far-left wokesters be supporting ranked-choice if it didn’t favor them winning? Vote NO on Prop. 131. Ranked choice is truly rank.
