This episode of RSL is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the integrity of our elections. The conversation starts with a fiery discussion about ranked-choice voting, a system that's been touted as a way to increase voter participation and reduce negative campaigning. However, Ashe and Ryan present a compelling case that it's actually led to confusion, disenfranchisement, and a lack of transparency in elections.

The discussion delves into the specifics of ranked-choice voting, including its implementation in Alaska and California, where it's been met with low voter turnout and a lack of accountability. Ashe highlights the complexities of the system, which can lead to ballot exhaustion and confusion among voters, particularly among elderly and minority communities. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who cares about the future of our democracy.

The conversation also touches on the importance of election integrity and the need for transparency in our voting systems. Ashe emphasizes the need for local control and accountability, rather than relying on centralized systems that can be manipulated. This episode is a call to action for listeners to get involved and make their voices heard on this critical issue.

Heidi Ganahl, founder of Rocky Mountain Voice, joins the program to promote her organization's upcoming Freedom Fest 250 event in Castle Rock.
