In Bid to Rig Future Elections, Raskin Reintroduces Ranked Choice Voting Act

Radical left-wing Jamie Raskin is once again pushing a sweeping overhaul of America’s voting system, this time by reintroducing a federal mandate for so-called “ranked-choice voting” (RCV) just as the country barrels toward another high-stakes midterm election cycle.

Raskin posted a video on X on Monday, pitching ranked-choice voting as a cure-all for American politics.

The video was released after he reintroduced H.R. 6589, a bill that would mandate ranked-choice voting in elections for the U.S. House and Senate nationwide.

“I believe our Ranked Choice Voting Act will not only guarantee majority winners across America but dramatically reduce negative politics and promote positivity in our elections,” Raskin wrote on X.

In his video, Raskin argued that RCV changes campaign incentives by encouraging candidates to seek second- and third-choice support instead of attacking opponents.

Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and ballots are “redistributed” to remaining candidates until someone crosses the 50 percent threshold.

Raskin even praised races where candidates who finished second in the first round ultimately “catapulted ahead” after vote redistribution.
