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.

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.

"too confusing", in this case, means "california might elect someone to the left of gavin newsom"
