The DNC is gonna work hard to destroy ranked choice voting, aren’t they?
If there were no ranked choice, he still would have won in this case. He won the plurality of the votes on the first round (unexpectedly and a massive over performance of the polls)
Granted ranked choice may have made more people feel safer to consider him in the first place, but still worth noting here
He probably would have still won but you can’t make that determination directly
Probably a lot of people voted for him as first because they could have another, more known option as option 2.
Like in the National elections imagine that there was ranked choice. A third party would get a significant amount of votes, maybe even surpassing the democrats, but without this ranked choice, the inertia is just too high and it’s too risky to vote for them.
