In ranked-choice voting, a candidate needs more than 50 percent of the vote to be declared the winner outright. If the front-runner doesn’t have that percentage of the vote, the candidate with the fewest votes that round drops off the ballot, and those who ranked that candidate first will have their votes go to their second choice. The process continues until a candidate has more than 50 percent of the vote.
The state’s special House race election will be the only race with ranked-choice voting on Tuesday, but it will provide a preview of how other candidates running in races such as the state’s Senate election will do in November.

Actually, I WOULD vote third party if I didn't like either the R or the D if I DID like the third party candidate. Learn some freaking history - there have been political parties in power in the past that no longer exist. Those parties were taken out using the one voter, one vote system. Please explain how that happens if the system is the problem. I'd like the option to have a "None of the candidates" vote box as well so I know if I don't want any of them to represent me, I can make sure none of their election office minions fill in my vote for me. If it is new and being pushed by the dems and RINOS, it is being put into place because it can and will be manipulated to get the cabals preferred person in office.
