Tennessee is a state in the Eastern United States, though much of the state is in the Central Time Zone (as is much of the Mississippi Basin).

Wikipedia has an article on:

SB 1820

The state of Tennessee recently outlawed "instant runoff voting" and "ranked choice voting", which they defined as follows:[1][2]

a method of casting and tabulating votes in which:

  • (A) Voters rank candidates in order of preference;
  • (B) Tabulation proceeds in rounds such that in each round either a candidate or candidates are elected or the last-place candidate is defeated;
  • (C) Votes are transferred from elected or defeated candidates to the voters' next-ranked candidate or candidates in order of preference; and
  • (D) Tabulation ends when a candidate receives the majority of votes cast or the number of candidates elected equals the number of offices to be filled, as applicable
