Ranked choice voting exists in some regions of the US already. It sure as fuck won't come from the Republicans, but if voters actually cared to demand it, they could see it happen. It's not impossible, just utterly unknown to most of the populace.

RCV just failed in a core blue state, Oregon. Dem leadership decided to run anti 117 ads, as well as repub leadership.

Voters demanded it, it was put on the ballot, and it failed because the average American votes with their party, their team, and both teams are against it.
