Republicans are the most cowardly panty-waists in American history. The mere thought of having to be competitive for once in their state against a moderate is unfathomable.
‘Bill sponsor Rep. Ben Koppelman, R-West Fargo, said in a previous House Government and Veterans Affairs Committee hearing that he revived the bill because voters want “better” elected officials with more conservative values, especially when it comes to state funding.’
‘Fargo voted to use approval voting through an initiated ballot measure in 2018 with 64% of voters casting ballots in favor of the new system. The city used approval voting during the 2020, 2022 and 2024 mayoral and City Commission elections. It was the first city in the nation to use approval voting.’
Oh
What could possibly be the reasoning on *proactively* banning voting reforms?
I mean, *I know the reason*, – they’re cowards who don’t want to face the slightest chance of being challenged in an actual free election – but what’s even the excuse here?
*Edit:* having read the article, platitudes about it delaying elections and being confusing are apparently it. Wonderful.
Republicans in state legislatures across the country are having a banner year with the stupidest fucking bills
