All votes counted at 1 location. Opens it up to fraud and takes forever. Read up on the historical use of it. Australia uses it currently. US used it at the founding. MIT used it and got rid of it. Utah Republicans used it and got rid of it. The Dems used it for primaries in 4 states for the presidential election and it was a shit show. It sounds nice but our current system is still better.
There certainly needs to be more education on the topic, but know this, the left has pushed very hard for this since the Trump era, and anything they've pushed hard for in the Trump era is for a reason, the accelerated destruction of our Constitution. Don't trust them
The left isn't pushing hard for this. It hurts the Democrat party as much as the Republican party, in the long-run it's devastating to both. Would Ross Perot have won the Presidency in 1996 if people were allowed to vote for him and choose whether their vote would go to Clinton or Dole if Perot didn't get enough votes? I think he would have, to be quite honest.
Also, this is a good thing. Don't do what they do. Trump said he should have said, "we won't build the wall under any conditions," because of the blind opposition. Don't be blind opposition. Ranked Choice Voting is a good thing for this country, and a bad thing for our two political parties and corruption in America.
When the Virginia legislature was taken over by democrats it was one of the first things they pushed and got approved for local elections and stopped on statewide.
The democrats used rank choice in 4 states for the presidential primaries and they were a shit show. Utah Republicans used rank choice for and dropped it.
It’s being pushed by the democrats now but for what purpose? To weaken their power? More likely that they are salivating at the idea of having all ballots counted in 1 location being transferred all over the state to be counted on new voting machines.
Research the historical use of rank choice, it’s been around for hundreds of years. There are other alternatives to our current system.
I thought this was Rank voting was good. What am I missing?
Depends on the implementation

They are. /r/politics and many leftists media sites have been pushing this over the past few years. Here is one example, but it's been a theme from the left: https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/b3sl8a/if_were_abolishing_the_electoral_college_lets/
Those are the voices the Democrat party is trying to keep quiet. That shoe swings to both feet.

Its great for Parliamentary systems, but horrible for two party republics.
We aren't supposed to have parties at all, much less only 2 of them. Ranked choice voting is a push to allow more parties to get involved.
That will be a worse clusterfuck than France.
Good. We do not want a two-party system. It breeds corruption.
Do you know of any system that does not breed corruption?
