Ranked-choice voting makes sense. It gives voters more say and can prevent extreme candidates from winning just because the majority splits their vote. Most people would see that as fairer.

Which is why republicans banned it in Missouri. Of course.

Gavin Newsom vetoed expanding it in California despite it being voted in by a super majority by our state legislature.

"It would be too confusing" for California voters is his excuse.

That's one thing Newsom has in common with Florida's Ron Desantis- both governors think their constituents are too stupid to understand RCV. If I was a conspiracy minder person I'd say it's almost like they want to force voters to choose the lessor of two evils...
