The funny thing is that the stupid rank choice only applies to federal elections in Maine. The state and local elections don’t use it because it violates the state constitution.

Ok... IANAL, but that does seem to raise a constitutionality question.

Currently, the Maine constitution only requires a “plurality” and it would have to be changed to a “majority” to be able to use Ranked Choice in the state elections.
