Colorado Proposition 131 was the relevant 2024 ranked-choice voting ballot issue, and voters rejected it in the same 2024 election cycle. However, the promise was specifically to vote against the measure, and secret ballot rules mean there is no public record confirming Jeff Crank's individual vote. The public result aligned with the promised position, but candidate-specific fulfillment cannot be verified from the evidence provided.
