Elections:repeal Rank Choice/Open Primary

The bill seeks to repeal the use of ranked-choice voting and open primaries in federal elections. This would eliminate the practice where voters rank candidates by preference and also restrict participation in primary elections to only registered party members. The impact of this change could lead to a more traditional election system where voters select a single candidate without ranking options and limit primary election access to party members only.
