Oregon election results: Measure 117 adopting ranked-choice voting fails
The ballot measure would adopt ranked-choice voting for the nomination and election of president, members of Congress and statewide elected officials.
Wasn't even close. 60/40.

Who votes against this? Really!
People who want their party to stay in power
They still could?
yeah they could but now they will.
We can't even get illusion of choice.
with other voting systems, third parties could gain more power (as intended), which means that the current duopoly would lose power, and they don't want that
They must also only order big macs and never change it up. It would be nice to see who people really want.
People who read the heavily biased voter's pamphlet and didn't use critical thinking
What does it say?
Many pages of testimonials (fearmongering) about it being a bad idea. I only skimmed it.
Well they voted so now they never will have to use it I guess.
I don't know anything about the campaign in Oregon, but most people are scared of things they aren't familiar with.
Also I'm guessing neither party really supported this much, since they benefit from first-past-the-post.
Wonder what the campaign against it was. This seems like a easy win. It's not even a religious thing like pro-choice.
Probably just a bunch of bullshit falsehoods, look at the campaign against issue 1 in Ohio. It was a change to the state constitution to put a citizen run commission in place to draw maps for voting districts and Republicans ran a campaign that was just straight up lying about what the issue was about. Then even threw misleading ballot language on the ballot, I doubt anyone read the ballot language though because it was a small novel.
Issue 1 took up the entire back page of my ballot yesterday and was just nonsensical legalese. People voted on it based on how there prefered candidates told them to, and we all saw who their preferred candidates were last night.
I wonder how many people showed up not seeing their ballot in advance.
The vast majority.
Damn education system failed.
Like you can see the test questions in advance and it's encouraged.
Politics (especially among republicans) has become a bit religious, so it's not really THAT different I guess
Based on the popular vote they traded Jesus for this monster who can't open a door.
Missouri voted to ban it 😭
you would think even If you hated Harris you would at least vote for more dinner options.
