Explain why RCV is bad. It seems good on paper
It's bad because it almost guarantees that the person that "wins" the election is not the person with the most votes. They just shift votes to a less-favorite candidate. Many of us Alaskans can't wait to get rid of it!
So you're concerned they put up a bunch of patsies that split the vote? Pretty sure Louisiana has a similar RCV runoff and theirs is fine
Then they can have it. We want ours GONE. https://www.heritage.org/election-integrity/report/ranked-choice-voting-bad-choice
It stinks, it's unfair and they cheated to get it installed. Why do you think darkmoney, out of state interests and Dems pushed for it?!

Jesus. They say people were getting confused with the instructions? Its pretty simple. Are people that stupid?
"In Alaska’s 2022 congressional special election, Republican candidates received 60 percent of the vote in the first round, but the Democrat won. Nearly 15,000 were trashed, and the Democrat won by a little more than 5,000 votes."
This doesn't make any sense unless Alaska didn't have a runoff election after the first round votes were counted. It sounds to me like most of the priblem is just election cheating and RCV is a scapegoat
It's because if you don't reach percentage of the vote, you don't win.. even with most votes, so then the person with least votes is given to winner.. and on and on.. it's basically an averages system.
I'd like to know too.
Here's a decent article on it.

In Maine’s 2018 Second Congressional District election, more than 8,000 ballots were thrown in the trash. Bruce Poliquin (R) received 46.33 percent of the vote ahead of Jared Golden’s (D) 45.58 percent. But since Poliquin didn’t receive 50 percent, there was a second round of tabulation. The secretary of state threw out more than 8,000 ballots and Golden was declared the winner—but with only 49.2 percent of the total ballots cast. In Alaska’s 2022 congressional special election, Republican candidates received 60 percent of the vote in the first round, but the Democrat won. Nearly 15,000 were trashed, and the Democrat won by a little more than 5,000 votes.
So what is the problem here? That the sec of state in Maine threw out votes? Did he do it because people didn't follow instructions and voted for one candidate?
And in Alaska this doesn't make sense. There's a second voting round that should take place beyween the Repub and Dem candidate. Like Louisiana. Yea?
