The Federalist: North Dakota Becomes 15th State To Ban Ranked-Choice Voting
North Dakota has officially banned ranked-choice voting (RCV) with the signing of HB 1297 by Governor Kelly Armstrong, making it the 15th state to do so. The legislation aims to ensure a consistent and straightforward voting experience to bolster trust in the election system.
Under the new law, RCV and approval voting are prohibited for all local, state, and federal elections, overriding any conflicting local ordinances. This move aligns North Dakota with other states like Wyoming and Kansas in rejecting RCV, which has faced criticism for leading to inaccurate results and high ballot discard rates.

Forbes: Can Trump Fire Jerome Powell? Federal Reserve Chair Thinks No As President Urges His ‘Termination.’
President Trump has intensified his long-standing conflict with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, calling for Powell's "termination" on social media. This marks a significant challenge to the traditional boundaries between the presidency and the Federal Reserve, raising questions about Trump's authority to dismiss Powell.
Trump's dissatisfaction stems from Powell's cautious monetary policies, particularly regarding interest rates. While past presidents have commented on Fed policies, Trump's approach is notably more aggressive. The implications of such firings could undermine the Fed's independence, a principle that has been upheld since a 1935 Supreme Court ruling.
