Protect democracy by voting against Prop 1

| October 24, 2024 1:00 AM

Let's cut right to the chase about Proposition 1. The political left always talks about the importance of "protecting our democracy." How does Prop 1 do that when, under its ranked-choice voting model, the candidate with the most first-choice votes may end up losing the election when all is said and done?

Imagine Prop 1 is in place. I'm actually required to rank Kamala Harris for my ballot to count? As a conservative Catholic, are you kidding me? Mike Weland of 9B.News would likewise be required to rank Donald Trump on his ballot. Are you kidding him?

What a terrible stinkeroo of a ballot measure. Protect our democracy by voting No on Prop 1.
