ST. LOUIS — Five states have banned ranked choice voting in the last two months, bringing the total number of Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10.
Missouri could soon join them.
If approved by voters, a GOP-backed measure set for the state ballot this fall would amend Missouri’s constitution to ban ranked choice voting.
I support STAR voting, but RCV has a lot more momentum. We shouldn’t let the two get in the way of each other. Vote for RCV now if your city has momentum, work towards STAR in the future, unless STAR is already popular in your city. People are easily overwhelmed.
