Judge dismisses RFI’s Evanston RCV lawsuit
RFI Board President David Melton was quoted in a Chicago Tribune article about RFI’s Evanston ranked-choice voting lawsuit, which was dismissed by a Cook County judge in a November 12th ruling.
“The main reason they’re [refusing to implement ranked-choice voting], and I’m just speculating here, but I believe that the Democratic Party of Cook County is against ranked choice voting because they feel it would undercut the party’s ability to obtain fees from candidates for slating and undercut their power in primary elections. I believe the clerk is opposing this on orders from the Democratic Party of Cook County,” he said.
