By recruiting a candidate who's impact is entirely neutralised by RCV, Democrats have shown how RCV is too confusing for voters, who are morons.

genuinely one of the reasons they are so opposed to alaska style RCV is that it makes these little ratfucking schemes less effective.
I just want to also say how fucking rich it is for Republicans to claim DECEPTION in Alaska when they create endless hoops to voting at all, and write ballot initiative language that deliberately obfuscates intent.

RCV *eliminates* the effect of (intentional or unintentional) spoiler campaigns.
It is one of the key advantages of RCV.

I don’t see how Sullivangate has any impact on RCV, if anything, RCV dilutes the spoiler effect

It also wouldn't even matter thanks to Alaska adopting RCV.

And beyond all belief, most of the articles didn't mention ranked-choice voting (RCV) at all and the one that explicitly talked about RCV incredibly said it made the confusion issue WORSE! (Many people don't know there is a "b" in "dumb.")
🧐 As of today - @nytimes.com “has now run more than a dozen reports on this matter in just three days.” Meanwhile the NYT “still has not told readers of a new rape allegation against Donald Trump that was made public on Monday …”

Okay, but this is also one of those situations where RCV should be really interesting.

Poll/first round RCV
Wood, Baldacci, Dunlap
Result/first round RCV
Baldacci, Dunlap, Wood
Now the same pollster has LePage over Dunlap.

why tf would the Dans Sullivan situation illustrate a flaw with rank-choice voting, and not the opposite?
