There are several bills currently in the Texas Legislature to institute Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) in certain circumstances. The executive committee of the Forward Party of Texas is considering a resolution supporting the adoption of these bills but would like to hear from you about your opinion on this issue. The bills under consideration are:
Enable military and overseas voters to use Ranked Choice Voting so their right to vote is not affected by delays in receiving ballots for runoff elections (HB 1444, Senate Bill # To Be Determined -- SB TBD)
Allow ranked choice voting as a local option for nonpartisan county, municipal, and school district elections (HB 259, SB 359)
Please register your opinion by completing the following survey.
Q: Would you like to be kept up to date on developments and meetings about Ranked-Choice Voting in Texas? If so, please answer Yes and we'll add you to our RCV-specific mailing list. A: Yes
Q: Would you like to leave a comment on RCV? A: 1. The only way to keep extremist ideologies from taking over the two party system is to implement ranked choice voting
2. RCV maximizes the value of a person’s vote. It gives them more agency in the democratic process which makes their democratic representation more valuable.
3. Any person or entity that opposes RCV either doesn’t understand it or simply doesn’t want people to have a more vibrant democracy because they actively engage in extremist ideologies with the end goal of taking over a political institution in it’s entirety leading to autocracy.
4. The math doesn’t lie, RCV is quite literally the most efficient method of democratic representation through voting.

Q: Would you like to leave a comment on RCV? A: Texas Montgomery County mafia has conspired with my ex-wife of 40 years to steal my homestead and sell it to a third party without a clear title. I appealed the divorce court’s judgment to the 9th District Court of Appeals after accusing my ex-wife, Sheriff Rand Henderson, District Attorney Brett Ligon and their minions of “trying to kill me” by arresting me when I went to recover personal property after being illegally locked out of my homestead. My appeal to the Texas Supreme Court is currently “e-stored” in their archives presumably because the County has been reluctant to ENFORCE any one of the judgments from any of the seven Texas Courts where I have represented myself as Attorney Pro-se since my wife filed for divorce in March, 2019. I have been disenfranchised in Montgomery County and now reside at my farm in Coryell County. I will do everything in my power to force Abbott, Patrick and Paxton out of office BEFORE the 2024 election. I’ll work with the FORWARD Party to produce a documentary similar to that showing on NETFLIX called, “Trump-as American Dream”. Abbott and his gang are headed towards secession. I will email a number of evidentiary documents to Rick Kennedy to supplement documents already in your hands in support of my case against the Texas Mafia. I turn 81 in May and I think I’ll be able to hang in there until well after the 2024 election. I’ll do anything you ask except contribute cash. I live on social security. Dan Patrick is my favorite target because he RIGGED the March 2021 primary and the May 2021 runoff. And you can be sure that I’m on the FBI and Texas Rangers “watch list”! Winston C. Heron ( Google my YouTube channel – playlist “Plea to Governor Abbott”.

Q: Would you like to leave a comment on RCV? A: RCV is one of many systems that would help get more citizens to vote. But, it is being undermined in Texas by people wanting five choices. In Texas we have too many positions on the Ballot. At the last election I voted for 95 separate positions mostly judges. From my perspective the limit should be three choices per position. Even with this I will not select three choices for mot of the judge positions.
