The die appears cast for ranked choice voting in the 2028 presidential nomination races
Democrats recently moved to prohibit its use in the upcoming delegate allocation process
Over at FHQ:
Nevada Democrats are not without their supporters in push for first 2028 contest
Ranked choice voting?
Again? Come on, FHQ. Didn’t you already write — at length — about Democrats and RCV not all that long ago?
However, while the national party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) voted in late May to restrict the use of RCV in the delegate allocation portion of the presidential nomination process, the panel left open the door for reconsideration of the decision before the 2028 rules are finalized. And the RBC revisited the changes to Rule 14.A at their most recent meeting in Pittsburgh at the end of June.
So think of this update as the next chapter (if not coda for the 2028 cycle) to the story.
What exactly happened in Pittsburgh, how does it affect the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination process and how does this compare to what Republicans are doing with regard to RCV for 2028? FHQ will dive into those questions below the fold.
