Maine Supreme Court says proposed ranked-choice voting expansion is unconstitutional

In a unanimous opinion, the justices said Maine's constitution makes clear that the first candidate to achieve a "plurality" of votes wins the races for governor and Legislature. As a result, it appears that voters won't be able to rank gubernatorial candidates in order of preference during the fall election.

So many ex-politicians coming out to put in their 2c worth on the current #political climate in #Australia and the leadership or lack thereof from Anthony Albanese; yet NONE of them recognising that they created the environment that we now find ourselves in.

Every missed opportunity to strengthen or improve #legislation to ensure resources and systems are protected was missed because of petty time-wasting schoolyard banter and #shitfuckery by #politicians in our parliaments. And the majority of that is because of 3 dominant political parties and their party first rules which declare the party and being in government is more important than actually working to improve #Australia.

This must change. Vote #independent or small party.
