In a stunning admission that exposes the constitutional problems with Democrats' election schemes, Maine's own Attorney General Aaron Frey—a Democrat—has filed a brief with the state Supreme Court arguing that the expansion of ranked-choice voting violates Maine's constitution.

The brief, which Frey calls "statutory wordsmithing," reveals what constitutional conservatives have been saying all along: these radical voting changes are nothing more than attempts to manipulate elections outside the bounds of our founding documents.

Ranked-choice voting, pushed by progressive activists nationwide, forces voters to rank candidates in order of preference rather than simply choosing their top pick. Critics argue this convoluted system confuses voters and dilutes the principle of "one person, one vote" that has been the bedrock of American democracy.

Democrats' Own AG Exposes the Scam

What makes this development so significant is that it's coming from within the Democrat establishment itself. When even a liberal AG admits the constitutional problems with ranked-choice voting, you know the legal foundation is shaky at best.

This isn't the first time Maine has grappled with ranked-choice voting controversies. The system has been criticized for producing outcomes that don't reflect the true will of the people, often benefiting candidates who couldn't win outright under traditional voting methods.

Patriots across the country have been fighting these election manipulation schemes in state after state. From California to New York, progressive activists have been pushing ranked-choice voting as a way to advance their agenda when they can't win fair and square under our constitutional system.

"This admission from Maine's Democrat AG proves what we've been saying—these voting schemes are constitutional disasters waiting to happen," said one constitutional law expert.

The Trump administration has consistently championed election integrity and constitutional governance. This development in Maine shows why President Trump's focus on returning to constitutional principles resonates with Americans who want their votes to count and their constitution respected.

As this case moves through Maine's Supreme Court, it could set a precedent for challenging similar unconstitutional voting schemes nationwide. Will other states finally admit what Maine's Democrat AG already has—that these radical voting changes violate our most fundamental governing documents?

Finally someone with integrity willing to admit the truth! Democrats have been pushing RCV knowing full well it violates our state constitution. This is exactly the kind of constitutional overreach we've been warning about.

Couldn't agree more Mike. They knew this was unconstitutional from day one but pushed it through anyway.

We dealt with RCV confusion here in Alaska and it was a nightmare. Voters had no idea what they were doing and it completely undermines the principle of one person, one vote. Good on this AG for being honest about the constitutional issues.

Same experience here! RCV made everything so convoluted and frankly undemocratic.

I'm curious - what specific part of Maine's constitution does RCV violate? The article mentions it but I'd love to see the exact constitutional language that's being violated here.
