Against ranked choice voting

This reply is to all those who slept through 6th grade civic class. We as a state from 1820 have lived under a system of a plurality of one man one vote, period. This system has worked well for these almost two centuries. Get the horse before the the cart and change the Maine Constitution.

Now we face a convoluted, time consuming, extra costly election that was brought forth from a minority elector who hated the last two governor election results. Never saying that the recent governors were also plurality result, one man, one vote — period . The minority wants a second, third, forth bite of the apple until a liberal is chosen. All the result of a business man governor who inherited an absolute financial mess, jailing the Commissioner of the turnpike authority for theft (a Democrat), paying off the hospital bill.

I will vote no on ranked choice voting until a vetting process is completed and the Maine Constitution is rewritten.
