[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
What I’m trying to understand is how Riemer voters can claim that RCV is important when they also say Elrich was their second choice. Sounds like they are talking out of both sides of their mouths out of convenience to absolve blame for re-electing Elrich.

Seems like a disingenuous candidate has many disingenuous supporters. It’s an affinity group. [/quote]

You sound nuts. You do realize that there are thousands upon thousands of Riemer voters. There is no set of beliefs you must subscribe to or spokesperson who could articulate those beliefs. It is almost certain that some Riemer voters would have Elrich as their second choice and some have Blair. Likewise it almost certain that some would support RCV and some wouldn’t. But that’s about all you can say about them as a group. [/quote]
You must be a Riemer supporter. I’ve found that the defining features of many prominent Riemer supporters are disingenuousness and a proclivity for insulting people. Well done for scoring high on both metrics. [/quote]
