Republicans unveil bracket voting to boost voter turnout in '26 election


It's a three-fold problem the GOP faces: 

  • Recruiting more hands and eyes on the election process, making sure each and every vote is counted.
  • Coming up with a sexy new voting method to rival the left's call for Ranked Choice Voting.
  • Tapping into an ever-growing demographic of sports fans as a source of new voters, especially basketball fans.

This week the Travis GOP Committee on Voting Affairs rolled out a bold concept to help with all three dilemmas: 

A bracket-style tournament ballot for the 2026 primary election! 

Just in time for March Madness in two years, Republican voters will be able to participate in a series of bracket-style matchups between Republican candidates. Like with a tournament, each winner will advance to the next level until a winner is decided. And it would totally eliminate the need for an expensive runoff.
