CTP (S3E109) The Hidden Agenda of Ranked Choice Voting
We examine the deceptively marketed Ranked Choice Voting initiative brewing in Michigan and why it's designed to manipulate electoral outcomes rather than empower voters.
• RCV sounds reasonable in theory but implementation is deliberately misleading
• Alaska's experience shows how RCV protected establishment candidates like Lisa Murkowski
• The 100-word ballot proposal summary dedicates only 5 words to actually mentioning RCV
• Left-leaning organizations push RCV because their analysis shows it advantages their candidates
• Third-party voters on the left reliably rank mainstream Democrats as second choice, creating asymmetrical advantage
• Ballot initiatives frequently hide their true intent behind populist-sounding electoral reforms
• When in doubt about complex ballot proposals, the safest approach is usually to vote "no"
This Michigan initiative could soon spread to other states - understand how it works before it arrives in your state.

Tony EL shares how a military upbringing, history, and education shaped his approach to questioning narratives and defending free thought.
