eorgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) is planning to present several electoral system proposals, including ranked-choice voting, to state lawmakers following the runoff between Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Herschel Walker (R), which handed a win to Warnock.
In an interview with The New York Times following the runoff election, Raffensperger said he would offer three proposals to Georgia lawmakers, including one to establish a “ranked choice instant runoff” system, whose main goal would be to eliminate having voters return to the polls after the general election and the costs associated with doing so.
Raffensperger also said he would propose opening more early-voting locations and lowering the vote percentage threshold required of candidates to avoid a runoff election from 50 to 45 percent.
“The elected legislators need to have information so they can look at all the different options that they have and really see what they’re comfortable with,” Raffensperger said.
The Georgia Secretary of State is still in the middle of controversy over his decision to certify the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden just three days after Election Day, as Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft observed.
