3 days agoAlaskan here - we’ve had RCV since 2020, and this year there was a ballot measure to remove it… Can’t have shit in this country 😒. Being too “confusing” has been the only argument against it I’ve heard (AKA, no actual substantial argument against it.) Oh, and I guess that we elected a Democrat for House Rep because of it. Definitely can’t have that.
Oh absolutely, I did not mean to imply RCV is the end-all-be-all. STAR is my preferred voting system, but if it’s RCV vs pure plurality , I’d much rather have RCV.
