AP quotes Brewer in report on ranked-choice voting in primary election outcome
The Associated Press reported on the outcome of the June 12 primary election in Maine and the role of ranked-choice voting, quoting Mark Brewer, a professor of political science at the University of Maine. Tuesday’s election resulted in more confusion and controversial arguments than usual, but not “widespread chaos” as feared by some opponents of ranked-choice voting, according to the article. But there could be other implications. “I don’t think it’s going out on a limb to say that there will be at least one lawsuit. I’ll take that bet,” said Brewer. The Washington Post, U.S. News & World Report, Boston.com, the Jacksonville Journal-Courier and GreenwichTime carried the AP article.
