PCRWC ADVISES NO ON RANK CHOICE VOTING

Whereas, Ranked Choice Voting is complicated and confusing, and results in decreased
voter turn-out and voter suppression,
Whereas, Methods and Algorithms for conducting Ranked Choice Voting can be arbitrary
and inconsistent and can result in manipulation of outcomes,
Whereas, There is no way to audit or confirm election results when Ranked Choice Voting is
used,
Whereas, Open (or non-partisan, or “jungle”) Primaries are being proposed as the first step
in instituting Ranked Choice Voting,
Now therefore, be it Resolved, That the Committee to Stop Ranked Choice Voting of the Pima County
Republican Women’s Club will work to oppose any implementation of Ranked Choice Voting
and Open Primaries.

The above resolution was passed by the PCRWC Committee to Stop Ranked Choice Voting on August 26,
2023.
