Show Notes
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a bill banning ranked choice voting, which allows voters to rank candidates by preference. The new law, effective in 90 days, withholds payments from the Local Government Fund to block any municipality from adopting the system. The bill was supported by both Democratic and Republican senators and passed with minimal opposition in the House. Critics argue that the state shouldnt dictate local election methods, while supporters claim the system is confusing and risky for voters. The move aims to prevent any push for ranked choice voting in Ohio and maintain the traditional first-past-the-post method.
