PHOENIX, ARIZONA – Last night, Proposition 140 was soundly defeated by Arizona voters, rendering a complete rejection of out-of-state billionaires’ attempts to force a California-style elections system of ranked choice voting and jungle primaries. Nearly 60% of the Arizona electorate voted ‘no’ on Prop 140.
“Prop 140 was one of the worst ideas to ever be proposed in our great state, and it is fitting that it met its demise from a vast majority of Arizonans,” said Scott Mussi, President of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club. “Radical leftists, out-of-state billionaires, and scheming consultants tried to hoodwink voters into adopting this failed system, spending millions of dollars and duplicating signatures to qualify for the ballot. We are so pleased that millions of Arizonans did their homework and said ‘hell no’ to, what would have been, a disastrous transformation of our elections system. California can keep their destructive policies and systems on their side of the state line.”
Ranked choice voting suffered losses in every state it was on the ballot this November General Election:
-
- Colorado: Proposition 131 was defeated with almost 55% of the vote
- Idaho: Proposition 1 was defeated with almost 70% of the vote
- Montana: Both CI-126 & 127 were defeated
- Oregon: Measure 117 was defeated with almost 60% of the vote
- South Dakota: Amendment H was defeated with more than 65% of the vote
- Nevada: Question 3 was defeated with almost 54% of the vote
- Alaska: Measure 2, which repeals the state’s ranked choice voting system, appears headed toward passage
In Missouri, Amendment 7, which proactively prohibited ranked choice voting, passed with almost 70% of the vote.
