In Palin's race, you have the Dem with  101,000 and Palin with 57,000. The 3rd place is a Republican with 51,000. Palin will need 44,000 second place votes and the Dem 0 votes to win.? The advantage of Rank voting is you get a winner without the need for a runoff.

So far, spending by the Warnock and Walker campaigns and outside groups totals $262 million, according to OpenSecrets, a nonprofit that tracks money in politics.

The most expensive race ever was the $515 million contest between Georgia Republican Senator David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff, which Ossoff won in a runoff in January 2021. Not really that stupid.

As a fiscal conservative, it is hard to argue against rank voting.

Alaska will probably always have  rank voting determine the winner. Their primary is really screwy  as all candidates are listed on the ballot and the top 4 regardless of party advance to the November race. The odds for 1 of 4 to receive 50% plus 1  is a real long shot. The only way for Alaska to eliminate rank is to declare the highest vote candidate the winner and not require 50% plus 1.
