Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.
On the Evening of Sunday, October 13th, California Governor Gavin Newsom Vetoed SB 212. It would have allowed Non-Charter Cities and Counties to use Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) for Elections for their Own Officers.
His Reason:
Ranked choice is an experiment that has been tried in several charter cities in California. Where it has been implemented, I am concerned that it has often led to voter confusion, and that the promise that ranked choice voting leads to greater democracy is not necessarily fulfilled. The state would benefit from learning more from charter cities who use ranked choice voting before broadly expanding the system.
