Republicans are once again assaulting democracy due to Sarah Palin losing
Alaska's first election with the state's new system of Ranked Choice
Voting (RCV).

MAGA cons like Senator Tom Cotton are saying Palin would have won if only
people didn't have RCV and couldn't vote for someone they actually liked.

This is just like every other assault on Democracy for these
semi-fascists. Just like January 6! Just like the Electoral College! Just
like with their extreme gerrymandering! Just like their many assaults on
voter accessibility!

Here are the facts: in 2020 the people of Alaska voted to switch to RCV.
What RCV proved here is what we at No Dem Left Behind have been saying:
quality Democrats can succeed in red states and districts when the playing
field is level.

RCV makes it so bad candidates opposed by the majority can't win just
because the field is crowded. With RCV you rank candidates in order of
preference. If your 1st choice comes in last, your vote isn't meaningless.
It gets to count towards your 2nd choice! This simple process repeats
until one candidate has the true support of more than 50% of voters.

Why should a candidate win a 3-way race with 34% of the vote if the other
66% of the voters would have chosen another candidate if it had only been
a 2-person race?

RCV guarantees a candidate that most people oppose can't win. So, of
course, Republicans hate it.

They despise democracy, and they want to tear it down. So it makes sense
that they would also hate RCV.

Decent Alaskan Republicans were more than willing to break with their
party and support a good Democrat OVER a bad Republican.

These MAGA Republicans say they hate government, but what they hate is a
government that functions. They love broken government.

RCV is a simple fix for broken government, so MAGA Republicans can't allow
it!

Unfortunately, RCV is not available everywhere. In most states, candidates
still play on the old, unleveled field that's littered with dark money and
disinformation, but that doesn't mean we can't win! We just have to play
harder!

Don't let MAGA cons destroy our democracy. Join our team and play hard
with us!
