The leftists who opposed this probably realized it could be gamed by the opposition just as easily as the left could. It would be a matter of who played it better.
But that is my uninformed speculation since I don’t know enough about ranked choice voting to know how one side can use it to advantage.
Since both Rs and Ds opposed it in nearly equal numbers I’ll also speculate that the support for it comes mostly from globalists not domestic leftists.
I remember it was used in Alaska and thus Murkoski kept being elected although very unpopular with many Alaskans. WHatever it make be, is seems clearly very rotten.
Thank goodness the voters of Colorado didn’t like the sound of this! With the amount of money behind it ( so many ads!), I was deeply concerned.
