I was so mad when they passed that amendment in my state. They used crumby wording to get people to vote for it. I’m still disappointed that this wording got approved to go on the ballot:
A “yes” vote supported amending the state constitution to:
provide that only U.S. citizens 18 years or older can vote, thereby prohibiting the state or local governments from allowing non-citizen voting;
establish that each voter has one vote per issue or open seat;
prohibit ranked-choice voting; and
require plurality primary elections, where one winner advances to the general election.
A “no” vote opposed this amendment, thereby maintaining that “all citizens of the United States” who are 18 years of age or older may vote in elections and that ranked-choice voting may be enacted at the local or state level via ordinance or state statute.
TLDR: They said the amendment required proof of citizenship to vote, but that was already federally required. They then tacked on RCV to get it banned by amendment. >:(
A “yes” vote supports: I will not personally shoot you in the face; you agree to be absolutely reamed in the ass politically.
A “no” vote supports: You do not agree to be absolutely reamed in the ass politically.
I wonder how long before New Mexico Republicans draft a bill making use of tax money for UBI illegal.
Like it says in the article this isn’t a universal basic income as it is only given to 80 families
Lmfao, 15 states already banned Ranked-Choice Voting 💀

Jesus Christ.
NM has its fascists firmly restrained.
One of the few states where anyone right wing gets laughed out of the room.
Move to NM; got it. Thanks. 😊
This would be a great thing to do with victimless crime tax monies.
Luckily new mexico is quite blue.
