Runoffs can be just as bad. That’s how the GOP lost the senate seat to Warnock — two stubbornly stupid Republican candidates handed him the victory.
The Consequences of Georgia’s Runoff: Leftists Call For Radical Legislation After Warnock Projected Win: End Filibuster, Pack The Courts, 3 New States, 6 New Democrat Senate Seats

I think that RCV will work well, but only when combined with closed partisan primary elections. That combination would let new parties most effective challenge the Rats & the Pubbies.
It is very easy to win a ranked choice election. Just get more votes than your opponent.
Ranked Choice Vote Fraud was instituted in Alaska to keep write-in candidate Murkowski in the Senate.
It worked.
Why trust RCV when we cannot even have clean elections and clean voter roles?
I remember when the libtards could not figure out to use a butterfly ballot in Florida in 2020. I don’t think they got any smarter since then.
It’s an “incumbent protection” scam. Murkowski would not have been re-elected last time without it.
RCV should be banned everywhere—get back to our roots, one vote, per person.
I think ranked choice voting is on the November ballot in Nevada.
Some of the republican commies here in pa are for it.
this is a socialist plot but you already knew that.
every city in CA that has used ranked choice has ended up with communist left wingers winning seats that they would otherwise have lost in a first past the post election (or runoff). Just say no.
RCV enshrines the DNC in power
Also, as opposed to run-off elections, ranked choice voting doesn't allow for people who didn't vote in the general election to cast votes in subsequent "rounds." Only the general election voters who "ranked" their vote get to have votes counted in "run-off" rounds.
Ranked-choice voting actually disenfranchises most voters.

Maine has RCV for it’s two federal House seats and two U.S. Senate seats, as well as the presidency.
It’s NOT used in races for the Maine House, the Maine Senate or for Governor.
It needs to be repealed. It cost GOP congressman Bruce Poliquin his U.S. House seat in 2018, even though he received 2,200 MORE votes (but did not break 50%).
Ranked choice is corruption.
Murkowski has used it so well, it should be called the Murk system.
It screws everything up. Alaska for example. Palin and Begich were the Republicans. Only 1 Dim. Peltola. Too many idiots hate Palin so they wrote in Peltola as their next choice after Begich.
Palin had the most, then Peltola, then Begich not far behind. Drop Begich from the end, give votes to Peltola; and BAM! We have a Dim Rep.
All it does is divide your votes, and it ends up rewarding the party smart enough to nominate 1 candidate, kind of like normal voting!

Here’s the problem, though: Even states without RCV still use RCV-enabled electronic voting machines.
Why is that, hmmmm...?
