We believe Charleston Mayor-elect William Cogswell still would be Charleston’s mayor-elect if the city had used a ranked-choice voting system this year rather than the traditional method, which involved both a general municipal election and then a runoff two weeks later; after all, Mr. Cogswell received the most votes the first time around, and more than two-thirds of those castling ballots on Nov. 7 preferred someone other than the incumbent John Tecklenburg.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The League of Women Voters of Ohio and voter Jennifer Kucera filed a federal lawsuit today challenging a provision in House Bill 458 that impacts how voters with disabilities can cast absentee ballots. The plaintiffs are represented by the ACLU of Ohio, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the law firm of Covington & Burling.

Charleston Mayon John Tecklenburg plans to introduce a resolution to add instant runoff, or ranked choice voting, as an alternative to current election methods. Representatives from four statewide organizations, including the League of Women Voters of South Carolina, held a press conference Dec. 14, 2023, applauding the resolution.
