OPINION: RCV may seem logical on the surface, but in reality, it introduces a complex vote tabulation system that lacks transparency and often leads to weird election outcomes.

"The survey showed that the ballot measure is receiving far less than the fifty percent of the vote required for passage in the upcoming November Election."
Don't let off the gas, Arizona! Together we can defeat #Prop140 and RCV!

Prop 140 would force voters to navigate 2 different voting schemes. The Secretary of State could force RCV in 1 race, but not in another. Voters will go from 1 race where they are expected to rank 5 different candidates, and the next race they will vote for just 1 candidate.
You know what's really spooky ? 👻
Giving all the power to decide how our elections are run and who appears on our ballots to one partisan politician.

“Prop 140 would hand the keys to our elections over to a future Legislature, & potentially give a blank check to one partisan politician — the Secretary of State — to determine on his or her own which candidates advance to the general election,” @DougDucey https://t.co/3iGU28IXka
With less than a week to go before the election, the outcome of a new poll is indicating the defeat of Proposition 140, the “Make Elections Fair Act,” which proposes to overhaul Arizona elections with ranked-choice voting and open primaries.

According to the Data Orbital poll results, Proposition 140 is deep under water with only 42.2% of respondents in support of the measure – well under the 50% threshold necessary for passage. Of the respondents who have already voted, support for Prop 140 was only at 38.4%. @azfec
🚨 New Poll Shows Prop 140 Heading Toward Defeat in Arizona!
Today, the Arizona Free Enterprise Club (@azfec) released the results of a poll conducted by Data Orbital on #Prop140, which would enact a California-style election scheme of ranked-choice voting (RCV) and jungle primaries. The survey showed that the ballot measure is receiving far less than the fifty percent of the vote required for passage in the upcoming November Election.
“This latest poll demonstrates that Arizonans do not appreciate these special interests attempting to commandeer our elections for their radical agenda,” said Scot Mussi, President of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club. “Arizona voters are diligently doing their research on Prop 140, and they are being turned off by its dangerous effects on our state’s elections and future. We are hopeful this measure will go down in flames on Election Night next week, sending a message to these out-of-state billionaires and California liberals that Arizonans want free, fair, and transparent elections – not a system run by a partisan election official and his band of unelected bureaucrats.”

Survey Results: https://t.co/dUkLKca6BC
Last week, Highground, Inc., the firm behind much of the state operations to promote Proposition 140, released the results of a poll for the races of President of the United States and U.S. Senate. Curiously, Highground did not include any results for Proposition 140, which it surely surveyed due to its interest in the ballot measure.
If passed by voters, The Make Elections (Un)Fair Act (@MakeAZFair) would do the following for future Arizona elections:
❌ Allows one politician, the Arizona Secretary of State, to decide how many candidates qualify for the general election ballot for every single contest, including his or her own race.
❌ Would result in some races where candidates from only one political party appear on the general election ballot.
❌ Would force voters to navigate two completely different voting systems on the same ballot, with some races requiring voters to rank candidates and others that do not.
❌ Will increase tabulation errors, create longer lines at the polls, and significantly delay election results.

"Today, there is bipartisan support for ensuring every vote counts. Yet RCV guarantees the opposite, and instead will create confusion, dropped votes, and a convoluted system of ballot counting that does not represent the will of the people."

“Make Elections Fair has collected close to $10 million, while the No on 140 Committee only received $5,000. Someone definitely wants to upend Arizona politics, and they aren’t necessarily Arizonans.” -@azcentral
Vote NO❌ on prop 140!
“Prop. 140 grants far too much power to the legislature or secretary of state by allowing them to determine how many candidates can compete in general elections,” said The Reason Foundation.
