@koavf Oakland, CA Mayor some years ago.
@QueenPhillippa Are you talking Libby Schaaf?
@koavf Yeah. People were flummoxed. Rank choice voting is not the answer. Just have runoffs or a simple majority vote.
@QueenPhillippa She had more votes in the first round than any two candidates put together and _easily_ scored re-election. It is untrue that no one wanted her.
@koavf So why the need for such a useless system?
@QueenPhillippa Because she did not win a plurality of votes, so the ranked choice system best represented what all voters wanted.
@koavf According to people pushing ranked choice voting! And no one else.
@QueenPhillippa Did you read the article? What you wrote is obviously untrue, as the Alaskan populace says. Do you think that Pew are lying about their data?
@QueenPhillippa Did you block me for pointing out what was in the article and asking if you read it?
@koavf NEVER allow ranked choice voting! Never do anything that cancels one person/one vote. Otherwise, look at the places where people got a person no one really wanted.
