In a devastating blow to leftist election schemes, the Maine Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that proposed legislation expanding ranked-choice voting (RCV) would violate the state's constitution, putting another nail in the coffin of this discredited voting manipulation.

The court's advisory opinion makes it crystal clear: Maine's Constitution establishes that the winner must be "first to pass the post" - not through the convoluted number games that Democrats love to use to steal elections they can't win outright.

As @lead_maine pointed out on social media, "Turns out RCV proponents' word games didn't fly with our state's highest court. Justices unanimously stated that 'The Maine Constitution clearly establishes that the winner is first to pass the post.' No amount of marketing changes that."

Another RCV Scheme Bites the Dust

This unanimous decision exposes what patriots have known all along - ranked-choice voting is nothing more than a leftist power grab designed to confuse voters and manipulate election outcomes. The fact that Democrats and Democrat-affiliated groups pour millions of dollars into defending this terrible system tells you everything you need to know about their real motives.

Maine is one of only a handful of states foolish enough to experiment with this electoral disaster, joining Alaska in proving that RCV doesn't deliver on any of its promises. Instead, it creates confusion, delays results, and allows losing candidates to somehow "win" through mathematical manipulation that most voters can't even understand.

"A reckoning is underway, and the quiet whispers are turning into a storm. What we believed was settled is being re-examined, with every fact laid bare and every lie exposed," noted @NahBabyNahNah in response to the ruling.

The Maine Supreme Court's decision should serve as a warning to other states considering this fraudulent voting scheme. When even liberal Maine's highest court can't find a way to make RCV constitutional, you know the whole concept is fundamentally flawed.

This victory proves that when constitutional principles are properly applied, Democrat election manipulation schemes crumble like the house of cards they always were. How many more states will it take before the left finally abandons this anti-democratic power grab?

This is a huge win for election integrity in Maine. Now let's work to repeal RCV completely and get back to traditional voting methods.

FINALLY! The Maine Supreme Court shows some common sense. RCV is nothing but a way to confuse voters and manipulate elections.

Exactly right! One person, one vote - it's not that complicated.

RCV is just another expensive scheme that benefits political consultants and confuses regular working people. Glad to see the court recognized this.

I've been voting for 40 years and the current system works just fine. Why do we need to complicate something that isn't broken?

We used RCV in our local election last year and it was a disaster. Half the people didn't understand how it worked and many just left parts of their ballot blank.

Great news but I'm surprised it was unanimous. Does anyone know what the specific legal reasoning was that the court used?

From what I read, it violated the state constitution's provisions about how elections must be conducted. The court said RCV fundamentally changes the nature of voting.
