Notice the shill attacking OP:

You know it's only the democrats who are pushing ranked choice voting in this country, right?

Much gaslighting follows, then the typical "you have no proof" response:

Oh okay, so go ahead and provide the evidence that all ballot challenges historically have been from democrats.

The OP's karma got massacred in this thread, which goes to show how extreme the Biden shills are, but the OP followed up with ample proof

What's funny about this is that it is 100% true that Democrats are the ones pushing ranked choice voting, but what they're not telling you is that ranked choice does jack shit in terms of making elections fair for third parties and ending the two-party duopoly (well, really one-party monopoly...). This could already be seen in Australia, which has been using ranked choice for longer than any other country (nearly a century), yet still has two-party domination, and it can also be seen in Maine (where Democrats pushed for ranked choice hard), which since adopting ranked choice, has only elected a total of one non-major party candidate to federal office, and that's Angus King, who: 1) won an outright majority, meaning the result would have been no different had plurality been used, and 2) was an incumbent who already was winning in Maine before it switched to ranked choice. In the 2020 election, Lisa Savage didn't even break 5% of the vote, and Howie Hawkins received fewer votes than Jill Stein got in 2016, back when Maine was still using plurality.
