[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Riemer voters: Don’t blame us. This wouldn’t have happened if we had Ranked Choice Voting.

Also Riemer Voters: Don’t blame us, we would have voted for Elrich anyway.

Can someone help to explain to me how RCV would have led to a different outcome?[/quote]

Ranked choice voting would take the last place candidate and distribute their votes to the candidates ranked second on those ballots. So if you think a majority of Riemer voters would have Blair as their second choice he would have won once Riemer was eliminated.

It’s common for Blair supporters to argue Riemer voters are also anti-Elrich voters but there is no way to know— they could also be anti-rich businessman[/quote]

The problem with Riemer is that he spent a lot of time and money attacking Blair, too. There’s no way to know whether it was decisive, but there’s no question that it helped Elrich. Riemer’s misleading attacks on Elrich didn’t really land, but his misleading attacks on Blair seemed to catch on. [/quote]
