It’s Simple.
Ranked Choice Voting Rewards Broader Support by allowing backup choices to count when a voter’s preferred candidate is eliminated. In single-winner elections, a final-round majority is a majority of the votes still being counted, not necessarily all ballots originally cast.
Ranked Choice Voting Expands Voter Choice by freeing you to vote for who you really want, without settling for the “lesser of two evils,” and without fear of “wasting” your vote.
