When relatively unknown Glenn Younkgin swept into the Virginia gubernatorial primary, using his millions, suddenly the RPV instituted rank choice voting, and the unknown won. Having seen the system in action, I will never support it.
It's like guns, guns don't kill people, the operator holding the gun kills. RCV used properly works, in a primary. In a general it is poison..
Ballet exhaustion occurs in traditional elections. They call it an undervote. The key thing that needs to be agreed to up front is do we want the winner to get more than 50%. Anyone voting in a traditional election that votes for the loser(s) has an exhausted ballot. In RCV those voters get as many more options to cast a vote than in traditional. And maybe the most positive thing about RCV is it slashes the negative campaigns because candidates want to be a second choice
In Virginia the Republican primary for 10th congressional district had 11 great candidates. RCV was used and worked well. I was involved all day as assistant and then late into the night when counting concluded. I know first hand it works - in a primary. This is not good in a general election. This is a detail that can't be overlooked. To say RCV is universally bad lacks credibility. You don't want to be dismissed because you choose to not see this. Many were involved and will doubt your sincerity to cast unqualified doubt on RCV.
I don't disagree. The point was to make a short outlining what occurred in what you said - the general election in Alaska. That's in the full video I linked.

Praise God for all of the positive news yesterday that further proves our elections are rigged!
The more they come after Trump, the stronger he gets!
You nailed it! Thanks Seth.
