>“Though I voted in favor of S.B. 63, the problems ranked choice voting sought to address are very real,” Blessing said. “I have introduced S.B. 395 that captures all of the benefits of ranked choice voting with none of its flaws. Weep not for ranked choice voting when we could have this better system known as consensus voting.”

>Under S.B. 395, all candidates for an office would appear on a single primary ballot, regardless of party affiliation. Voters could select up to three candidates, and the top three vote-getters would advance to the general election.

Blessing seems to be coordinating with Better Choices for Ohio

Modern legal warfare, in this case spearheaded by the Heritage Foundatiob, targets automated signature validation to manufacture logistical bottlenecks. By exploiting outdated procedural requirements, a small minority creates systemic delays, aiming to veto the majority’s will through “legal games.”

I was learning more about what fptp is, and on their website it states some... Questionable sentences.

"As there is only one candidate from each party, voters who support that party but don’t like their candidate have to either vote for a party they don’t support or a candidate they don’t like."

Is this normal? What am I missing? This sounds horrible.

One of the United Kingdom's four countries, Scotland, has single transferable vote in its local councils: Single Transferable Vote (STV) – The City of Edinburgh Council

According to Single transferable vote - Wikipedia this dates back to 2007. Northern Ireland's local councils also use STV, along with NI's Parliament.

Local councils in the remaining two countries, England and Wales, continue to use FPTP, however, and Why we need to change the way we elect our councillors in England and Wales – Electoral Reform Society – ERS proposes changing that to STV.
