Ranked choice voting is spreading like poison

The founder of Alaskans for Honest Elections is speaking out against ranked-choice voting, which he says is “spreading like poison.”

“Ranked-choice voting is a whole way that certain people want to redefine how we vote. It’s no longer one person, one vote. It’s a very complicated system where everybody’s thrown into a jungle primary,” Art Mathias, president and founder of Wellsprings Ministry in Anchorage, Alaska, tells The Daily Signal.

“Our House race to replace [Rep.] Don Young was 48 people trying to make it through that to become the top four. Then the top four go through a campaign to a runoff. So, if you’re not extremely well-known, if you don’t have a lot of money, you’re not going to go any place in the race,” Mathias says.
