A recent New York Times articles has a title, “Inside the Republican Strategy to Discredit the Florida Recount” that hints at the truth about the Republican Party. It is their strategy to disrupt an election, not to actually find out what the real count is.

The Republican Party has given up on attempting to win by legitimate means, and has instead thrown all their attempts and efforts to win at any and all costs.

Even the president basically admitted it at his 60 Minutes interview that winning is the only thing that matters.

The party has lost all credibility in their challenges to the fairness of the voting system because they have had every opportunity to fix it.

We the people need to make our ballot system secret and sacrosanct again. Vote counts must be beyond reproach and we must make them as immune as possible against party shenanigans and malfeasance.

One method in that direction is supporting ranked choice voting. Voters everywhere in the United States should take a close look at Maine, and how we are attempting to solve the problem of partisan malfeasance in our election system. Instant Runoff/Ranked Choice voting will benefit all voters and all parties. It’s time to act.
