    Trump wins GOP caucus in US Virgin Islands amid debut ranked-choice voting | The Gateway Pundit

    President Donald Trump emerged victorious over neocon Nikki Haley with a stunning 74% to 26% lead, the US Virgin Islands Republican Party reported Thursday evening.

    “Great news! As we were landing in Nevada, getting ready to go to the caucus, news just came out that we won the Virgin Islands caucus in a landslide, all the delegates, with about 75% of the vote,” Trump announced on Truth Social.

    “I just called to thank the participants. They are celebrating and having a great time – they deserve it! This was a very big day for your favorite President, the Republican Party, and Democracy!”

    The U.S. Virgin Islands has taken the outrageous step of implementing choice-based voting in the Republican caucuses, a move that awarded four delegates and could reshape future primaries.

    According to CBS, “Under this systemVoters choose five candidates and rank them in order of preference. Here's how the votes are counted: The candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated, and the votes of his or her supporters are distributed to the remaining top four, based on voters' next selections. This process of elimination and redistribution is repeated until two candidates remain, and then the candidate who received the largest number of votes wins.

    “More states should have a voice in this process, and it shouldn't be just Iowa and New Hampshire,” said Dennis Lennox, executive director of the Republican Party of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

    “We have created a fair and level playing field for every candidate,” Lennox said. “Ranked-choice voting ensures that there is no such thing as a wasted vote, and no such thing as a spoilsport candidate.”

    In addition to the Virgin Islands, Democrats in Wyoming are set to implement choice-based voting, joining Alaska and Maine, which have already adopted it in both their primaries and general elections.

    Alaska's adoption of ranked-choice voting has sparked controversy, especially after Democrat Mary Peltula's victory over Sarah Palin. She's the first Democrat to win a House seat in solid red Alaska in 50 years!

    Ranked-choice voting and mail-in ballots were implemented by referendum in 2020. Republicans allowed it to happen. Now the state will likely be lost forever to Democrats' cheating and maneuvering.

    The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Alaska Republicans allowed ranked-choice voting to pass in 2020. This confusing system is only being pushed by RINOS and extremists in conservative red states. It allows Democrats to level the playing field when they have no chance of winning.

    Republicans also allowed mail-in voting in the deep red state.

    The outcome of the Senate race in Alaska, where incumbent Lisa Murkowski won over a Trump-backed opponent, was also affected by the by-choice voting system. Since neither candidate received a majority in the first round, it went to a runoff, and Murkowski then won due to by-choice voting.

    In contrast, states like South Dakota and perhaps Idaho are moving in the opposite direction. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem signed a bill in 2023 banning ranked-choice voting, citing the strength and integrity of the state's electoral system.

    “South Dakota’s election laws were created fairly. “We have one of the best election systems in the country,” Noem said in a statement. Through laws like SB 55, “we will strengthen our great system and provide accountability for the future.”

    “In addition to South Dakota, Florida and Tennessee banned the use of RCV in state elections last year. On RCV ballots, voters rank their options rather than choosing just one option. RCV tends to boost left-wing candidates and often leads to confusing and even inaccurate election results.”

    Wisconsin also joined the list of regions moving to ban voter-based choice, with dual constitutional amendments introduced in both the state House and Senate last month that received strong support from Republican leadership.
