The ranked-choice voting tabulation process moves at a glacial pace.
We're back in Augusta today, to watch the beautiful simplicity of ranked choice voting in action. Yesterday we were "close." Today we are "almost there."

Spice it up? What a joke. You know what would be really fun? Elections that work. But blue states are utterly incapable of delivering that. “It’s going to be a lot of fun when we do the reveal,” Flynn said last week. ‘It won’t be like a gender reveal, but we’ve got a few things planned for how we might spice it up a little bit this year.’”

After decades of Election Day results, DC's first ranked-choice mayoral primary won't have official results until June 21st. A bold solution to the problem of elections ending on election night.

Here’s a live look at the ranked-choice voting tabulation process.
Over a week after the election, we are apparently "close" to getting the RCV tabulations:

Ranked Choice Voting has so many perils, here is just another. Often overlooked, the lack of transparency and accountability.
Stunning development in Maine’s ongoing election counting… The Secretary of State’s Office is claiming, one week after primary Election Day, that the Biddeford clerk sent them the wrong thumb drive. Because Maine has Ranked-Choice Voting, the results can’t be counted in a municipality by the clerk who has had the job for 30 years. Instead, a thumb drive has to be couriered to a centralized location where the Secretary of State’s office enters all of the data into an algorithm and then, like the Delphine oracle, comes out with the results so indeterminate time later. Biddeford is a massive Democrat city in CD1. But these results will not alter the U.S. Senate primary and they won’t really matter outside of local elections and the Dem Gov primary. Really the only election that this thumb-drive could change the outcome of is … THE ONE SECRETARY OF STATE SHENNA BELLOWS IS RUNNING IN 😂 She’s like House of Cards meets VEEP. I’m praying that the results out of Biddeford go Shenna’s way by two standard deviations from other cities. Maybe then Democrats will let us go back to free and fair elections counted by city clerks rather than eggheads in Augusta. We will never know the chain of custody on that thumb drive.

Questions: When will voters see results? Shouldn’t voters know the results on Election Day? Answers: 🤷and YES, but that won’t happen with ranked-choice voting. x.com/Stop_RCV/status/206473…

This is ranked-choice voting in action.

🚨🚨DEVELOPING: Multiple sources tell the Maine Wire that an RCV thumb drive for Biddeford is missing. We've heard reports that Bath is missing as well, and Bowdoinham ballots need to be re-scanned. The election was a week ago, and we still don't have results for several races due to the RCV tally process.

It’s a shame our nation’s capital is stuck with an election system so bad that it’s banned in 19 states, and months away from being repealed in one of the two states that uses it.
Today, voters in Washington, DC are headed to the polls in the District’s first ever ranked choice voting election. @RanktheDistrict

Here's what you need to know about ranked-choice voting: It's a convoluted system that delays election results, eliminates ballots, and is banned in 19 states.

Get ready for California 2.0 – voter confusion and late results, among other things. “According to the D.C. Board of Elections, ‘Final results in ranked choice elections will not be known until all eligible ballots have been received and counted.’”

Delaying election results is what RCV does best.

My main takeaway from voting in the DC elections this time around is that I was absolutely right to vote against ranked choice voting as a ballot initiative. The process is now 7000% more confusing.

They had us at “Total ban on ranked-choice voting.”
On Friday evening, the Republican leaders of North Carolina's state legislature dropped a big, unannounced, 36-page omnibus bill stuffed to the brim with new voting restrictions and elections changes. This thing is a voter suppression wishlist. Just some of its major provisions: 👉 Total ban on encouraging voter turnout: State and county board members are prohibited from any public statement "encouraging or promoting voter turnout in any election" 👉 Grants the Republican State Auditor total discretion to audit all machines, county offices and personnel involved in any election 👉 Reduces campaign finance transparency: the bill significantly raises the dollar thresholds for required reporting of dark money contributions or media expenditures, waiving reporting for the rest 👉 Requires voters to register with a political party a full year before voting in that party's primary election (up from 90 days) 👉 Total ban on any ranked-choice voting in any primary or general election statewide 👉 Strips some overseas voters of their eligibility to vote in any state elections 👉 Partisan staffing: changes up to 25 professional staff at the State Board of Elections from career civil staff to partisan political appointees 👉 Bans paid petition gathering This bill just dropped last night and may not be online yet (they like to take their time). We got a full draft of the bill here: carolinaforward.org/images/h…

RCV has turned elections in Maine into a chaotic mess where results are often delayed by weeks.  After Alaska repeals it this November, Maine should follow suit.
