The ultimate effect is, some people get to vote two or three times. The candidate with the least votes is dropped, so all the people who voted for him have their second choice vote counted.

The answer to this problem is to NEVER vote for ANY democrat. If you have ranked choice ballot do not rank a democrat

Violates the principle of one person, one vote.

Also make it really difficult to audit elections (a feature, not a bug)

In theory, it’s not different from Louisiana’s jungle primary and runoff.

In practice, it took what - several weeks to count the votes?
That’s plenty of time to produce fraud.
Also in a regular election, if there is a recount, the winner rarely changes but the actual count does change.
Yet with RCV, the second count is exactly the same as the first.
