Bonus: Portland, Oregon used it in their Mayoral and City Council elections, District 1 saw a 20% drop in voter participation on the ranked choice options. People simply skipped them.
“According to the city’s elections office, of the District 1 voters who participated in the November election, only 43% voted in the City Council race. (In other districts council race participation ranged from 64% to 66%).”
I hated the Missouri one as someone from there cause they lumped it in with banning non-citizens from being able to vote, which they already weren’t allowed to do. They know people here are fucking morons driven by media fear so they used that to get rid of ranked choice for good.
