Save Our State's Harry Roth wrote about the recent losses of ranked-choice voting for the Daily Caller:

What a turnaround. Two years ago, supporters claimed Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) was “the fastest-growing voting reform in the nation.” Their “hot reform” was used in just two states and some localities but was headed to the ballot in a half dozen states. Yet instead of winning and expanding, RCV has lost almost everywhere and is now banned in many states. And it just lost its biggest fight of 2026.

At one time, groups pushing RCV racked up wins practically unopposed. They spent vast resources on deceptive ad campaigns, convincing voters to pass RCV in Maine in 2016 and Alaska in 2020, as well as in various cities and counties. Yet more recently, the movement has hit a brick wall.
