Ohio and Indiana have delivered a crushing blow to the left's election manipulation playbook by officially banning ranked-choice voting (RCV) in their states, joining a growing coalition of patriotic states determined to keep their elections simple, transparent, and honest.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed legislation (SB 63) on Tuesday that permanently prohibits elections from being conducted with ranked-choice voting or "instant runoff voting" systems. The new law empowers the secretary of state to take swift action if any Ohio city or county attempts to implement these confusing schemes.
Indiana followed suit, ensuring that Hoosier voters won't fall victim to the same electoral chaos that has plagued other jurisdictions foolish enough to adopt this liberal experiment.
Why The Left Loves Ranked-Choice Voting
Make no mistake, Patriots – ranked-choice voting isn't about "democracy" or "voter choice." It's about rigging the game in favor of establishment candidates who can't win outright majorities. Under RCV, voters rank candidates in order of preference, creating a confusing system that often produces winners who didn't receive the most first-choice votes.
This Byzantine process benefits moderate Republicans and Democrats who can cobble together second and third-choice votes from across the political spectrum, while grassroots conservative candidates who energize their base get eliminated despite strong initial support.
"Ranked-choice voting is nothing more than a backdoor attempt to silence the voice of the American people and install establishment politicians who couldn't win in a fair fight," said one Ohio election integrity advocate.
Alaska's disastrous experience with RCV should serve as a warning to every state. The system helped defeat conservative Sarah Palin and installed a Democrat in a traditionally red state – exactly the outcome liberals hoped for when they pushed this scheme.
More States Must Follow
Ohio and Indiana's decisive action comes as election integrity remains a top priority for the Trump administration. With mass deportations underway and efforts to clean up voter rolls accelerating, blocking ranked-choice voting represents another crucial step in restoring faith in American elections.
Every patriotic state legislature should follow Ohio and Indiana's lead. The question isn't whether ranked-choice voting will be used to manipulate future elections – it's whether We the People will stop it before it's too late.
