So then we need to do a ballot initiative? We need a strong leader to put it forward - perhaps Palin might? If we encourage her? Or is she outta here? Idk, but this voting method isn’t right if everyone doesn’t rank all the choices. That’s what happened here I think. And I was part of the confusion.
Well, it's better to not rank anyone you wouldn't want elected. That does mean that your vote will probably end up worthless. Hence the problem with RCV.
I ranked my #1 choice, and actually a 2nd, but gave 3rd and 4th ranks to that 2nd choice, which nullified the 3rd and 4th ranks.. vote worthless at 3rd and 4th, my choice. The machine alerted and I had to click cast to let it through. It is a valid ballot doing it that way, and a valid 1st and 2nd ranking.
The wrong way would be to give 1st (or any rank) to multiple candidates.
I'm just a regular person, who tries to study and learn. I don’t have answers really, I do know the difference between right and wrong. RCV is wrong.

I would hope Palin would fight and do an initiative and or sue.
