CI 126 & 127: Trojan Horses

Alaska learned the hard way. They voted for ranked choice voting and now they are trying to get rid of it. Montana Constitutional Initiative 126 and 127 are billed as an effort to ‘make Montana elections more competitive.’ 

In reality THIS is just an euphemism for ranked choice voting. THIS is a thinly veiled effort to tinker with and manipulate our elections. ”If it’s not broken, don’t fix it,” applies here.      

THIS is a scheme to disconnect elections from issues and allow candidates with marginal support from voters to win elections. In the end, it is all about political power, NOT about what is best for Montana.
