ST. LOUIS — Five states have banned ranked choice voting in the last two months, bringing the total number of Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10.

Missouri could soon join them.

If approved by voters, a GOP-backed measure set for the state ballot this fall would amend Missouri’s constitution to ban ranked choice voting.

      They’re intentionally misrepresenting what RCV is and how it works, playing on their base’s fear of voter fraud (which itself is code for Hispanic people voting.)

      You’re not missing anything, it is deliberate misrepresentation of what one person’s right to vote is.
