The Democrats are all for this tells you ALL you need to know. This will also triple the expense of elections. If you're someone who doesn't like the available candidates, go find a good one that people are willing to vote for. Idaho's system is so good that like minded Oregonians want their state to become part of Idaho. This guy claims to be a lifelong Republican, but seems to want nothing to do with any elected Republicans that represent the majority of Idahoan's values.

He didn't convince me. The ranked choice voting is a bad idea. I know people in Alaska they have been fighting to get back to normal primary voting. They were all misled and didn't do they own research, we have to be smarter than this!

Any time proponents of any proposition lie and subvert the true purpose of a proposition in order to get enough signatures to put said proposition on the general ballot, in this case rank choice voting, I will always vote no!

Rank choiced voting doesn't make sense because some people would get to vote twice, especially if the person they voted for received the least votes and gets removed so the system automatically assigns their vote to their second choice. That's not fair. Alaska tried this exact system and it didn't work for them. Why would we think it's going to work of Idaho?

"because some people would get to vote twice" : No, in your example ~everyone~ voted twice. Some voted for their second choice when their first was eliminated and some voted for their first choice twice since that same candidate was still viable in the second round.

The Independents have the option to register democrat or republican and vote in their primary. I do it. I'm registered as a Republican and I'm an Independent. The vote splitting is a problem worth addressing. A true runoff would be better, like Georgia. Then people would vote their conscience. Nate always asks the questions we want answers to. Thanks!

I just watched this video and the video on "Why you should vote No to Prop 1" Very informative. This is exactly the kind of stuff I like to see from the news. Nate what an incredible job. Unbiased, seeking to understand, and asking questions from the opposing view. Well done. I would love to see open primaries (or honestly the just parties abolished completely) but the ranked choice voting does not seem like the right way to accomplish this. Why doesn't Hyrum simply advocate for the republican primaries to be open instead? Way less confusing. Wouldn't set up a new voting system. Wouldn't cost more tax dollars to set up. Doesn't add up. I'm curious why there's so much out of state money trying to push this Prop through🤔

"Why doesn't Hyrum simply advocate for the republican primaries to be open instead?" : Open primaries and ranked choice voting go together. With an open primary (top four advance) if for example three Republicans advance and one Democrat does ranked choice prevents the outcome where a small minority determines the winner (ex : 26% D1, 25% R1, 25% R2, 24% R1). In RCV the first candidate past 50% wins the contest which in this example would be a R if the R voters have a republican as their second and third choices.

I'm an unaffiliated Idaho voter and have been for years. I believe it's unconstitutional for the state to disallow anyone that's not red or blue to vote in primaries. I believe in free and open primaries. Whoever gets the biggest number wins, period. Then you put them on the ballot. Whoever gets the biggest number wins. And that's the winner. This is just total common sense people, not politics.

If the document doesn't say candidates can list whatever party they want regardless of their affiliation, please elaborate and actually show me. You said you could but you didn't. When I read it, it literally states they can. "CANDIDATES COULD LIST ANY AFFILIATION ON THE BALLOT, BUT WOULD NOT REPRESENT POLITICAL PARTIES, AND NEED NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARTY THEY NAME." Section 22 and 24 are convoluted and make it difficult to understand party affiliation vs. party endorsement.
