Fines Upheld for Alaska Pastor Using His Church Organization to Funnel ‘Free Speech’ Money to Political Groups Trying Repeal Ranked Choice Voting

Last year we reported on accusations of a pastor using his Alaskan church to funnel money to an anti-ranked choice voting group.  Most fines levied by the State of Alaska for not fully disclosing the donation were upheld last week, and a separate case challenging the repeal initiative it supported will be heard this week.

Georgia has a $75 Million Runoff Election Problem. Ranked Choice Voting Would Solve It, But Instead, the Georgia Senate Just Voted to Ban RCV.

Georgia is the only state which conducts runoffs for both general AND primary elections when no candidate receives a 50% majority.  But runoff elections are time consuming, have low turnout, and cost millions of dollars to run.   Ranked choice voting - also known as “instant runoff”-- could solve it, BUT the Georgia Senate just voted to ban it.
