Thank you to Barbara for pointing out the blatant falsehoods in the Voters Pamphlet for the upcoming election regarding Measure 117.
Ranked Choice Voting does NOT force voters to vote for more than one candidate. Ranked Choice Voting ALLOWS voters to rank candidates in order of preference.
While there are legitimate arguments against RCV, these outright lies do not help Oregonians make informed decisions.
Here is a 2.5 minute video which succinctly explains the process of Ranked Choice Voting.

Measure 117 is about improving our electoral process, not any particular party or issue. Let’s cut out the lying and disinformation and have a conversation about what RCV does and doesn’t do. I’d love to hear some arguments against 117 on this forum…
