俄亥俄州众议院通过法案 禁止排名 选择投票 并威胁向使用它的城市提供资金 Ohio House passes bill banning ranked choice voting and threatens funding to cities using it.

俄亥俄州众议院已通过一项法案, 禁止在全州进行排位选择投票, 并威胁削减国家资助给任何通过该法案的地方政府。 The Ohio House has passed a bill banning ranked choice voting (RCV) statewide, threatening to cut state funding to any local government that adopts it. 移动的目标城市是Lakewood和克利夫兰高地等城市,这两个城市正在审议RCV,尽管目前没有俄亥俄市使用它。 The move targets cities like Lakewood and Cleveland Heights, which were considering RCV, though no Ohio municipality currently uses it. 支持者提出对成本、技术挑战和投票拖延的关切,而批评者则称资金威胁是胁迫性的,认为RCV会减少浪费选票,鼓励公民运动。 Proponents cite concerns over costs, technical challenges, and vote tabulation delays, while critics call the funding threat coercive and argue RCV reduces wasted votes and encourages civil campaigns. 在一项修正案要求公众获得选票请愿文件之后,该法案现在回到参议院。 The bill now returns to the Senate after an amendment requiring public access to ballot petition documents.
