I don't know that I'd heard that issue with ranked choice voting before, I have some reading to do.
Thanks for sharing your perspective, I appreciate it
Yup, there's a reason why RCV initiatives are being repealed faster than they're being adopted.
RCV produces worse results than First Past the Post.
Which is a massive problem for voting reform, because people will say "we tried that, and it made things worse" while thinking about RCV. It poisons the well, and makes real voting reform much harder.
Do you have any links to coverage of RCV being repealed faster than they're being adopted? If not that's fine :) at some point I'm gonna sit down and read/research, I just don't have the emotional bandwidth today
