“This can occur when voters fail to rank all the candidates on the ballot”

This is exactly the same as not voting whenever you don’t like either candidate in a regular Dem v Rep general election.

No excuses. Fix it. Sarah was pitted against another republican. She should have walked into the House.

I was under the impression that did NOT happen. That your number one vote counted. Period.

<>With RCV also comes the potential issue of ballot exhaustion, which occurs when a ballot is cast “but does not count toward the end election result.” This can occur when voters fail to rank all the candidates on the ballot, leading to the disenfranchisement of voters (as some studies have shown).<>

Which is why rigged choice voting is unconstitutional. I cannot be forced by law to vote for someone I despise.
