Through in-depth analysis and multiple case studies from states like Maine, Massachusetts, and cities such as San Francisco and Boulder, it delves into the history, funding, implementation, and outcomes of RCV. Key topics explored include the historical origins, claims versus realities, the significant influence of out-of-state funding, the impact on different demographic groups, critiques from political figures, and the practical challenges faced during implementation. The text highlights the complexities of RCV, arguing that it may increase voter confusion and undermine its purported benefits, advocating instead for simpler electoral systems that ensure clear, fair representation.
