The Louisiana Freedom Caucus (LAFC) is thrilled to announce the passage of SB101 in the Senate from Sen. Blake Miguez that would ban ranked choice voting schemes from coming to Louisiana. In the few states where this Leftist gimmick has been tried, it has had devastating consequences, having valid votes thrown out and winners chosen after days of counting behind closed doors with no transparency. The bill banning this disenfranchisement will now move to the House for consideration.

“Ranked-choice voting guarantees multiple rounds of ballot counting, if no candidate receives a majority of the vote, based on a very complicated system of ranking the candidates in the order you would choose them at the very beginning on a long, complex ballot. You do not get the chance to vote again for the runoff. If your candidate didn’t make the top vote getters, your vote for that favorite candidate is thrown out. Then the order you ranked all of the other candidates magically become votes for the other candidates based on how you ranked them. This keeps on going until someone reaches 50 percent of the vote. Sound confusing? It is,” said Sen. Blake Miguez, founding member of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus.

“Voting should be simple—and the results should represent the decision of the people. But under ranked-choice voting schemes, voting is complex, and the results are manufactured after your ballots are thrown out. We do not need this in Louisiana. My bill, SB101, will make sure we never get a voting system here that throws out your vote by design to get a manufactured result.”
