I suppose everyone got the bad news. Thomas Jefferson said the citizens have a right to revolt.

It's so devastating. I just want to fly out to Fargo and hug everyone there.

Here's our email blast about it from Equal Vote. http://mailchi.mp/equal.vote/approval-banned
The takeaway is that backlash against having oversold RCV is indiscriminate and we (voting theorists) need to help stop the spread of misinformation.

@sarawolk Link is broken for me.

@toby-pereira Fixed it!

UPDATE: The North Dakota Governor vetoed the bill and the legislature wasn't able to get enough votes to veto the veto, so Approval Voting in Fargo stands!!!!
Montana did just successfully pass another RCV ban bill this week though.

Wow, this is wild... I hadn't heard actually. Glad the governor vetoed, but the audacity of it just goes to show how much power the choice of voting system carries.

Here's the Governor's veto letter. It's really good! -
Elsewhere in this forum, I mention the idea of promoting "Disapproval Voting" (which all of us know is the same as Approval Voting in regard to the power relations created) to forestall the accusation of violating One Person, One Vote (OPOV). The above statement from the governor confirms that people do think that Approval violates OPOV.
