[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sarah Palin lost her bid for a House seat because of ranked choice voting. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/05/sarah-palin-alaska-ranked-choice-works/[/quote] Eric Adams became Mayor of NYC thanks to RCV. RCV rewards those who appear to be moderates. But the liars, con artists, and charlatans will just change their stripes to project as "moderate" to try to get elected under RCV, then try to enact their real agenda once in office. I'm curious as to how it will shake out in the long run, but RCV is not a panacea for this country's issues. I'd much rather ban gerrymandering, ban the Electoral College or move to proportional Electoral College vote for every state. RCV is just a band-aid for this other stuff. [/quote] Sure, but this initiative has nothing to do with federal elections, which means gerrymandering and the Electoral College are irrelevant. RCV is a fix for problems with our local democracy.[/quote]
