      Would be nice, but I can’t see either major political party actually following through with something that hurts their power.

          Yep, as soon as it became a risk to power it got taken away. It’s a treat that will always be dangled and pulled away before it can do anything major.

            I meant to write they cant* undo it. They tried already but it didnt work, although there is a repeal effort that has survived some legal challeneges so it will be on the ballot in november, although i doubt it will pass

              You may know this already but, in case you don’t, you can edit comments even after submitting them.

                I do but you had already replied and context is important if an outside reader came along

        Let me happily inform you that several states have varying versions of RCV.

        Maine and Alaska got there through a Democratic government and a voter referendum, respectively.

        Highly recommend reading this Wikipedia page.

        You’ll notice a trend of Democrats and voter referendums driving RCV, and on the other hand, Republicans fighting to reverse or delay RCV laws, and entire conservative states that have BANNED it.

        This isn’t a “both sides” thing.
