Show Notes
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has signed a law banning ranked choice voting in state elections, including local races. This move halts communities like Lakewood from implementing it. Ranked choice voting allows voters to rank candidates, ensuring winners have broad support but can lead to vote exhaustion. Despite support for reducing extreme politics and wasted votes, critics argue it confuses voters and slows down counting. The law poses challenges for local leaders in places like Stow and Cincinnati, limiting voter choice and sparking concerns about election simplicity.
