Summary

Voters across eight states, including Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada, rejected ballot measures for election reforms such as ranked choice voting (RCV) and open primaries, despite a $110 million push from advocates.

The movement, inspired by Alaska’s 2020 adoption of these reforms, failed to gain traction, with critics citing confusion and doubts over RCV’s benefits.

Some reforms succeeded locally, including in Portland, Oregon, but opposition remains strong.

      Nah fam, I didn’t know how much of a thing it was until I went to the states. Every time there’s a subject to learn in school or some new policy, it must have an acronym, bonus points if it also features a flow chart guide for dummies.
