Radical left-wing Jamie Raskin is once again pushing a sweeping overhaul of America’s voting system, this time by reintroducing a federal mandate for so-called “ranked-choice voting” (RCV) just as the country barrels toward another high-stakes midterm election cycle.
Raskin posted a video on X on Monday, pitching ranked-choice voting as a cure-all for American politics.
The video was released after he reintroduced H.R. 6589, a bill that would mandate ranked-choice voting in elections for the U.S. House and Senate nationwide.
“I believe our Ranked Choice Voting Act will not only guarantee majority winners across America but dramatically reduce negative politics and promote positivity in our elections,” Raskin wrote on X.
In his video, Raskin argued that RCV changes campaign incentives by encouraging candidates to seek second- and third-choice support instead of attacking opponents.
Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and ballots are “redistributed” to remaining candidates until someone crosses the 50 percent threshold.
Raskin even praised races where candidates who finished second in the first round ultimately “catapulted ahead” after vote redistribution.
I believe that ranked-choice voting will dramatically reduce negative politics in America and promote positive politics. Now, why is that?

In Alaska, where RCV flipped a Republican seat to Democrat Mary Peltola despite 60% of voters backing GOP candidates, the system exhausted ballots and ignored second choices for top vote-getters.
In New York, socialist Zohran Mamdani led on election night with 43.5% of first-choice votes, but after several rounds of eliminations and redistributions, he was declared the winner with 56%, while Andrew Cuomo finished with 44%.
A study of Maine elections found that, of 98 recent ranked choice elections, 60 percent of the victors did not win by a majority of the total votes cast.
RCV opens doors to fraud and manipulation. The multi-round tabulation delays create gaps ripe for accusations of tampering, while exhausted ballots mean winners often lack true majority support.
Sites like RCVScam.com expose how it lets initial also-rans steal victories, undermining “one person, one vote.”
In 2025 alone, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and South Carolina prohibited ranked-choice voting, joining 11 other states for a total of 17 bans.
It is a scam, and Americans should push back hard.
