An anti-Ranked Choice Voting group is seeking to repeal RCV in Minnetonka.
They are the same people who fought Ranked Choice Voting when it was on the ballot in 2020, and they are at it again. We must be ready to defeat them and save RCV in Minnetonka. But we can’t do it without you.
Please help us push back against this extremist group by donating TODAY. We need to raise $10,000 in the next two weeks to make sure we’re organized to fight back – and every dollar you give will be matched by a group of generous donors who are fed up with these anti-democratic shenanigans.
While we‘ve only had the opportunity to hold one municipal election in Minnetonka with RCV, it showed promising success. We had 12 candidates running for three offices, the most ever for a Minnetonka Council election. And with all of these choices, no one had to worry about vote splitting. Voter turnout increased dramatically: over 50% higher than the average for city council elections, and the highest in the past 10 city council elections.
This was not an accident; RCV opens up city elections to encourage more candidates to run and empowers voters with more choice. More choice and competition increases the likelihood voters will find candidates that reflect their values which, in turn, encourages them to vote.
Despite this success, RCV opponents are already running a smear campaign against us. Let’s not be fooled by their whacky misinformation. That is part of their strategy, and they will have the support of anti-democratic extremists to run the RCV repeal campaign. We must be ready to fight back.
Help us stand up for RCV and local democracy by donating whatever you can today and double your impact.
Thank you for responding to this urgent call to action!
