Guessing most voters don’t understand it very well.
Do you lose if you do not vote on rank beyond first or second choice?
No, it works a bit differently. If no one gets 50% plus 1, the candidate who got the least votes has the second choice on their ballots reallocated to the person’s second choice. The process continues until someone has 50% Folks who don’t make 2nd, 3rd choices etc cause the final tally to be less than 50% of the total ballots cast.
