MassGOP opposes ranked-choice voting on basis of voter disenfranchisement, election rigging concerns

Madison Mercado October 14, 2020
The Massachusetts Republican State Committee voted unanimously to oppose ranked-choice voting in a committee resolution last week, citing voter disenfranchisement and election-rigging concerns. Ballot Question 2 will ask voters in November if the state should switch to a ranked-choice voting system.
On the Nov. 3 ballot this year, Massachusetts residents can vote for the Ranked-Choice Voting Initiative. If approved, this voting system will be implemented in primary and general elections for state executive officials, state legislators, federal congressional seats and certain county offices starting in 2022.
