For Star subscribers: Why far-right legislative Republicans are working hard to ban ranked-choice voting in Arizona, although there is no proposal for it yet.
Tim Steller You know Arizona's Legislative majority is worried about an idea when they try to stamp it out before it's even fully formed.This system of voting exists in two other states and a growing number of cities. But right-wingers are worried that if Arizona adopts some version of the system, it will keep their own from being elected.
People are also reading… Bowyer got the RNC to pass a resolution opposing ranked-choice voting, and now legislative Republicans are trying to ban it by law and in a vote of the people. But Arizona voters may well get a chance to consider the idea anyway, as an initiative on the 2024 ballot. Others involved include Chuck Coughlin, the Republican political consultant at Highground Inc.; Fred DuVal, the Arizona Board of Regents chair-elect and former Democratic candidate for governor; Scott Smith, the Republican former mayor of Mesa; Ron Barber, the Democratic former congressman from Tucson; Rex Scott, the Democratic Pima County Supervisor; and Edmund Marquez, the Tucson Republican and member of the Rio Nuevo board.
• All parties' candidates for state offices, including Legislature, would run together in one primary.• The top five candidates in that primary would be on the ballot for the general election.• If a candidate wins the majority of the first-place rankings, that candidate is elected. In Alaska in 2022, the system produced a surprise winner for its one U.S. House seat: Democrat Mary Peltola, who defeated, among others, Sarah Palin. But the system also re-elected moderate Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski and conservative Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy.
At a March 14 news conference, Sen. Justine Wadsack, of Legislative District 17 in Tucson, joined Sen. Anthony Kern and Rep. Austin Smith, among others, to denounce ranked choice voting.
