    ranked-choice or any other alternative ballot scheme would confuse tf out of the american electorate. many are literally too stupid to grasp the concepts thanks to the tanking of the public education system the last few decades.

        Yeah there’s even videos on YouTube that break it down really well and go in-depth while keeping it at a 5th grade reading level and under 3 minutes.

        I could definitely see ranked-choice being intentionally over-complicated in writing if someone wanted to undermine it, but with enough people/sources sharing simple video resources on it, it’s a method that could be easily understood and adopted by the public.
