This November, voters in six states and DC will decide whether or not to implement ranked-choice voting via ballot measure. One of those ballot measures is Nevada Question 3. 

Trent England, executive director of Save Our States, wrote about the deceptive campaign to pass Nevada Question 3 in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

“Question 3 ads claim Nevadans are “denied the right to vote” because Democrats choose Democrat nominees and Republicans choose Republican nominees. But that’s like saying people are “denied the right to vote” for candidates in a city or county they don’t live in. Technically it’s true, but it’s also perfectly reasonable.

There are other problems with Question 3’s primary process, which would advance five candidates to the general election. This can have absurd results, like candidates from just one party advancing to the general election. For example, in a primary with five Republicans running against 10 Democrats, the Republican candidates could take all top five spots even in a Democrat-leaning district."
