A democracy means the majority wins the first time. Not some round-robin tennis match.
Then the winner needs to be a majority, which means 50%+1. Maine and Florida both had to deal with two terms of Governors that never won a majority (LaPage and Rick Scott). Either ranked-choice or runoffs are needed until someone gets a majority. If it is a runoff, then it needs to be the following week, not two months later. Ranked Choice will work once the voters understand it.
Ranked choice always has the potential to be gamed. That's the problem with it. By the candidates themselves colluding to nuance the rankings. It can't be fixed.
So does the normal voting system used before it. What's your real point?
