On August 22, Maddock expressed criticism of ranked choice voting systems. He stated: "Rigged Choice Voting preys on the elderly because it’s so confusing and as many as 20% of their ballots are voided. Most older voters are always Republican. https://t.co/qPuopJdBM8"
Ranked choice voting has been the subject of debate in various states in recent years. Critics argue that the system can be confusing for some voters, particularly older adults, which may result in higher rates of ballot errors or disqualification. Proponents contend that ranked choice voting allows for more representative election outcomes by letting voters rank candidates by preference.
Maddock's comments reflect ongoing discussions about election reforms and their impact on different segments of the electorate.
