Arizona Republican legislators announce formal opposition to ranked choice voting

Arizona Rep. Austin Smith, R-Surprise, speaks on SB 1265, which would prohibit ranked-choice voting. He said ranked voting “delays the election process. Exhausted ballots and elections with ranked-choice voting silence voters. With ranked choice voting, the professional political consulting class would rather pick our representatives than the people.” (Photo by Paula Soria/Cronkite News)
