"Admittedly, it’s a system that voters may find cumbersome and complicated. (“What, I have to research and rate the other candidates to make an informed vote?”)"
@trinsec Everyone votes differently! There is no one way to vote. I think people choose a favorite by whatever criteria they use, but with Ranked Choice Voting, you choose ALL the candidates in order, first choice to last choice.
For some people, that's going to be more work.
