ALT Former Maine CDC Director Dr. Nirav Shah finished the June 9 Democratic primary for governor with a narrow lead, though the final outcome remains uncertain. Because no candidate surpassed the 50 percent threshold required for an outright victory, the state’s ranked-choice voting system will now redistribute secondary preferences to determine the nominee.
The US form of #RankedChoiceVoting is actually a choose-one election in each round, so it doesn't fix this problem and still has vote-splitting and spoiler effect.
If you want to use ranked ballots, you need to actually count ALL voters' preferences, not just their top choices.
If too many candidates of the same party run in California's top-two primary, they may split the vote and cause two members of the other party to advance.
With #RankedChoiceVoting, parties aren't penalized when more candidates run.
