You guys fucked up the ranked choice voting explanation. here it is in two sentences:
1. Ranked choice voting is an instant runoff election without the expense of mounting a second election.
2. If no one gets 50%+1 in the first count, losing ballots’ 2nd choice gets added to the first winner. If 50%+1 threshold still isn’t met, then rinse/repeat until one candidate gets 50%+1.
Right now without RCV we have elected officials in office who won without receiving anywhere close to a majority of votes. This will never happen if everyone starts using RCV. I’m a huge fan.
