This is another attempt by the Rinos and the Left to destroy election integrity in Montana
STOPPING THIS SHOULD BE PRIORITY #1 WITH THE STATE GOP
Normally, when citizens want to make changes to legislation, they go through our elected legislators in Helena. However, because we have a Republican Super Majority, the Left knows their extremist agenda will be blocked. They are therefore using the ability to easily modify our state constitution to bypass the legislature and force their left wing, extremist agenda on Montanans.
Ranked Choice Voting & The Jungle Primary is yet another attempt by the Left to change our voting system from one person equals one vote to a complicated scheme that
(1) requires computers to “count” votes and
(2) favors through a constantly changing definition of “majority” that mediocre candidates who could not otherwise get elected.
Right now, they are gathering signatures in liberal places like Missoula and Bozeman, hoping to make it on the ballot in 2024.If they succeed, those same places will find lots of “extra” votes to push it through. (Ranked Choice Voting is how Alaska ended up “re-electing” Lisa Murkowski instead of the actual Republican candidate.)
The Left makes these changes to our Constitution through an option called Initiative Petition (IP). IPs provide ordinary citizens a means of changing our constitution, which is a good thing. The bad part is that currently it only requires a 50%+1 majority to make that change. That number can easily be achieved by the liberals in Missoula, Bozeman, Livingston, Kalispell, Great Falls, and Helena, leaving most of Montana with no voice.
