Maine court rules ranked-choice voting unconstitutional for governor and legislative elections.
Maine’s Supreme Court has ruled that expanding ranked-choice voting to include governor and state legislative elections violates the state constitution.
The unanimous decision states the method conflicts with a requirement that winners be determined by a simple plurality, or highest number of votes, rather than a majority.
The ruling effectively blocks the bill, which was supported by Democrats but opposed by Republicans.
