The American Legislative Exchange Council held their national annual conference in Scottsdale last week, which included a pre-session for legislators with the Honest Elections Project (HEP). HEP is focusing on three issues relating to elections currently, and is proposing draft model legislation that legislators can introduce on a few issues. One is Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), which is gearing up to be a huge fight on the 2024 ballot in Arizona.
Three progressive groups are pushing RCV in Arizona. However, the Arizona Legislature has also referred a proposition to the ballot in 2024 that would stop RCV. HEP has extensively looked into how RCV works, and determined that it ends up putting far left Democrats into office, not moderates as some would expect. HEP’s fact sheet went over several races where it was used and showed how it facilitates this, undermining the Constitution’s principle of one person, one vote.
Jason Snead (pictured above), executive director of HEP, is leading a coalition with Trent England of Save Our States to stop RCV. Snead managed the development of the Heritage Election Fraud Database, which compiled proven instances of voter fraud from around the nation.
Snead told The Arizona Sun Times that RCV is expected to be on the ballot soon in several states. Alaska, Maine, and several smaller jurisdictions have already adopted it. He explained how a race in Alabama eliminated the moderate early on. In Boulder, Colorado, a Republican was winning until RCV was implemented.
