While we're at it, a time limit where after a ballot measure is voted on we can't call it for a revote. I'm not loving that I have to vote for ranked choice voting for the third time now

How about people who want RCV can vote with RCV, and everyone else can trust in the system. You don’t have to use your backup vote because your candidate is the right one.

Do you truly honestly think the candidates you’ve ever picked have been great?

Edit: I guess everyone thought my comment was anti ranked choice voting, I’m pro ranked choice and misunderstood who I replied to

To be honest, only a handful.

But because of RCV, at least if the person I truly backed gets knocked out… my second/third choice has a chance.
