Ranked-choice voting (RCV) supporters believed 2024 would be the turning point in their movement, with initiatives lined up in several states aiming to challenge the traditional election system.
Despite enthusiasm for RCV, recent electoral outcomes demonstrated strong opposition in multiple states like Colorado, Idaho, and Nevada, where measures failed by significant margins.
Conservative groups have spearheaded anti-RCV initiatives, emphasizing fears among Republicans about losing their power in elections, while proponents argue for RCV as a means to combat major-party dominance.
The battle between RCV advocates and opponents highlights a significant ideological divide, with various elections illuminating the resistance to changes that threaten the political status quo.
