Lynchburg GOP’s Ranked Choice Exit
from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Lynchburg Republicans are staging a high-stakes, party-run “firehouse primary” this Saturday to pick three city council candidates — ditching their earlier plan for ranked-choice voting in favor of a simpler, plurality-based system after confusion over ballot counting and pushback from local members. The race now pits two rival slates against each other: one backing Stephanie Reed, Larry Taylor, and Chris Boswell; the other supporting Marty Misjuns, Veronica Bratton, and Trae Watkins. With the outcome likely to settle long-standing internal party disputes, the winner will be determined by who can rally their base to vote for all three of their candidates — and the stakes couldn’t be higher for the future of Lynchburg’s GOP.
