RCV is voting more than the once allowed per person by law.

Advocates argue that ranked-choice voting could eliminate anger over the “spoiler effect” that independent candidates sometimes have

That is a problem. How many times have Libertarian candidates enabled the Dem to win? But runoffs take care of that.

Poor Denver.

Everybody should be rallying against RCV. Even the leftists are complaining about it in NYC after last week’s complete screw-up.

I don’t know who thinks it’s a good idea. It can take weeks just to find out who won.

Has anybody run simulations that test how to game the system so that the primary vote goes to the least desirable but the second vote goes to the real desired candidate?

Is it possible to run a Dark Horse campaign with this tactic to ensure that the second vote actually wins?

Republicans are rallying against ‘woke’ ranked-choice voting

Well, that would be a first for modern Republicans to rally around anything other than their own personal power. Perhaps that is what this is really about.

If they are, it’s only because Republicans haven’t figured out how to use it to their advantage yet.

It’s like proverbial multiple hanging chads per vote … what could possibly go wrong?

The real problem is primary elections themselves. Primary elections are state subsidies to the major political parties. Why the hell should tax dollars pay for and run a system to decide who the major parties run for offices? I think that is for the parties to handle. And at their own expense.

As for RCF? It is designed to stop political reform and control access to power and club membership.

It’s not just the viting system that’s the problem.

It’s the RCV-enabled voting machines.

RCV needs to be repealed wherever it’s in use.

And we need to go back to dumb voting machines.

Those RCV provisions are in HR1 for a reason.

FYI, Weather Underground scion Chesa Boudin became D.A. of San Francisco through ranked-choice voting. Yes, the young commie came in 2nd in the election, but managed to be enough idiots’ 2nd or 3rd choice to win the election as the candidates with lower tallies were eliminated. The system works to the advantage of “unacceptable” fringe candidates like Boudin because even if, say, 60% of S.F. voters would never want such pro-criminal radical to be D.A. he can still win by making sure that the other 40% who think he’s okay know about him and at least give him their 2nd or 3rd-choice vote. In a true head-to-head runoff with the 1st place candidate, he’d lose.

Whatever happened to ‘one person, one vote’??? The Left will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to corrupt our voting rights.

I vote for this person, but if he/she doesn’t win outright, my vote will go to another person??? Circling the drain.
