re: Ranked Choice voting...

In principle I like it.
HOWEVER - I could not support it unless there were provisions made to prevent "gaming" the system.
For instance - IF you run in the GOP primary and lose - then you SHALL NOT run as something else in the General Election.
Also - you must have declared your 'party' preference and been actively involved in that party's activities for some significant time PRIOR to filing to run as 'that party'
I can think of several other scenarios too difficult to put into a few words.
Bottom Line:
= IF we had honorable participants, no rules would be necessary.
= if we do NOT have honorable participants, we should be careful with 'new' procedures.

This is dumb.
Also, RCV shouldn't require party voting and should rely on some form of the jungle primary, with a set #/% of the top of that jungle primary moving on to the final round.

Ranked choice is actually better in this scenario (assuming people use it correctly) because the candidate that is just there to siphon votes will be eliminated in an early round and the lower ranked choices on those ballots will be used in subsequent rounds.

Does any state with RCV still use partisan primaries?
