    Only one party has implemented ranked choice while the other has fought against it. That would be a great first start.

      That’s not quite the case. Ranked choice voting is resisted by whichever party has a comfortable majority in any given state where it is on the ballot. That’s why it failed when it was on the ballot in Massachusetts during the previous presidential election, because it is a reliably blue state and ranked choice voting would only serve to disrupt that status quo.

      I still voted in favor of it, but that’s how it went down.
