How Republicans stunted 2024 growth and built 2026 roadblocks with rejection of ranked choice voting

The article from MSN discusses how the rejection of ranked-choice voting (RCV) by Republicans has significant implications for future elections. It explains that RCV, a system where voters rank candidates in order of preference, was seen as a potential reform to make elections more representative and less divisive. However, Republican opposition, primarily due to concerns over voter confusion and potential disenfranchisement, has led to legislative moves in several states to ban or restrict RCV. This opposition not only stunted the growth of RCV in 2024 but also set up roadblocks for its adoption in 2026. Critics argue that this move preserves the status quo, potentially benefiting the two-party system by limiting third-party and independent candidates' chances, thereby maintaining the current political dynamics and possibly suppressing voter choice and innovation in electoral processes.
