      FWIW any state that has a reliable political majority will do the same. Massachusetts had ranked choice voting on the ballot and it ended up getting defeated at the polls by a sizable opposition campaign because it would only make it likelier that the democratic party might lose some elections, either to Republicans or (gasp) actual leftists.

      My red state doesn’t even allow citizen-initiated ballot measures. Some red states have had positive changes enacted that way, but my state doesn’t even have that.

      Send help.

        Not to worry, i listened to a bunch of chowderheads on the internet and threw my vote in the sewer. Where’s my parade??

  • Brown and other critics of ranked choice voting contend the system is confusing, and he said there are numerous instances in which voters didn’t end up ranking their choices.

    If you’re too stupid for ranked choice voting and unwilling to learn, then do us a favor and don’t vote.
