Missouri banned RCV via ballot measure. Alaska is a deep red state that has RCV and rejected a ballot measure to remove it.

And RCV still sucks. Let them ban that one and use the better one.

Hold up.

> Missouri banned RCV via ballot measure.

That's true, but it's not honest. What actually happened is there were TWO parts to it.

The first part, which is the part people actually read:

> "The amendment also changes a line in the Missouri Constitution to specify that “only” U.S. citizens have the right to vote, rather than “all” U.S. citizens."

The second part banned rank voice voting.

Nobody, I mean nobody read the second part.

The first part of the ballot measure was _already illegal_. It was simply used as a tool to scare people into voting against rank choice voting.

At least one place in Alaska, I think two boroughs, have local laws that allow RCV.


> Nobody, I mean nobody read the second part.

Obviously what you should then do is get a ballot measure to redundantly ban non-citizens from voting and non-redundantly adopt score voting.
