Also, in b4 fascists start pretending like the Stalinist bootlicker Thalmann hadn't spent the past half-decade backstabbing and burning bridges with the SPD, which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.

They currently don't have the necessary majority in Congress to pass such legislation. The legislation has been proposed, but if the Dems don't control Congress it's not going to happen.

So even if you aren't in a swing state you might want to go out and vote down ballot if you want ranked choice voting.

Also proportional representation is a whole different thing from ranked choice voting.

Most of this would happen at the state level. That's where most of the mechanisms of voting are handled.

But yes, this just moves the problem into state legislatures.
