Rep. Abe Hamadeh and Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) have introduced an election integrity bill in the House of Representatives to prohibit ranked choice voting in federal elections.
Hamadeh’s Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act seeks to amend the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) to end “the confusing and disenfranchising voting scheme of Ranked Choice Voting,” a press release from Hamadeh’s office states.
The undemocratic scam of Ranked Choice Voting goes against the principle of “one person, one vote,” allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference and triggering an automatic runoff election based on the ranked totals if a candidate does not receive a majority of first-choice votes.
Several states, including Arizona, have seen attempts to implement the system and destroy fair elections.
“The same Democrat pawns who support allowing non-citizen voting without voter ID and same day voter registration also want to turn our democracy into a rank choice voting scheme,” Hamadeh said in a statement announcing his bill.
“Their motives are clear – they do not want to help Americans vote – they only want to help corrupt politicians win.”

“The nation does not need more uncertainty and confusion injected into the federal election process,” said Rep. Begich. “’One person, one vote’ is a proven tried-and-true method that is easy to understand, easy to audit, and quick to report. Experiments with our national election systems risk disenfranchisement of voters and lead to outcomes that do not represent the true will of the American people.”
This was a campaign promise that Hamadeh ran on. As The Gateway Pundit exclusively reported, Hamadeh released his five-point plan for election integrity last April. He also announced plans to advocate for voter ID requirements for federal elections, withholding federal funding from cities that allow non-citizens to vote, strict penalties for election fraud, and banning corporate and nonprofit funding in elections.
Hamadeh has already introduced other election integrity bills, including one requiring states to print federal election ballots in English only, in accordance with President Trump’s executive order designating English as the official language of the United States.
Another bill Hamadeh introduced will codify President Trump’s Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections executive order, which has faced lawfare from Democratic state Attorneys General and far-left nonprofit groups, such as the Campaign Legal Center and the State Democracy Defenders Fund. As The Gateway Pundit reported, radical Clinton Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly partially blocked Trump’s executive order, including the proof of citizenship requirement.
Abe Hamadeh called his bill “another promise kept” on X earlier:
375 Days ago, then-Candidate Hamadeh announced his Five Point Integrity Plan
#2 on the list was a Federal Ban on Ranked Choice Voting
Today, Congressman Hamadeh & his colleague @RepNickBegich introduced legislation to do just that

As The Gateway Pundit readers recall, Abe Hamadeh’s race for Arizona Attorney General in 2022 was stolen by just 280 votes after 60% of voting machines in Maricopa County failed due to intentional voter suppression that targeted Republicans on election day. Additionally, thousands of ballots were not counted due to wrongfully canceled voter registrations and ballot misreads across the state of Arizona.
