Considering the other side is – in multiple states – outright outlawing proportional representation, voting for the person not actively making that goal more difficult is, definitionally, still harm reduction.

    I've somewhat misspoke as they targeted, specifically, Ranked-Choice Voting rather than specifically the multi-candidate part but I feel like the proportional part is missed if you leave FPtP in place without an alternative like RCV so I don't think that's still wrong, per se; and I'd fully expect someone who'd outlaw RCV to be against anything fully proportional.

    These are the states RCV's been outlawed:

    • Alabama (2024)
    • Arkansas (2025)
    • Florida (2023)
    • Idaho (2023)
    • Iowa (2025)
    • Kansas (2025)
    • Kentucky (2024)
    • Louisiana (2024)
    • Mississippi (2024)
    • Missouri (2024)
    • Montana (2023)
    • North Dakota (2025)
    • Oklahoma (2024)
    • South Dakota (2023)
    • Tennessee (2022)
    • West Virginia (2025)
    • Wyoming (2025)
