The people that support what the Heritage Foundation [which is strongly against RCV] is about… are the main beneficiaries of RCV...
Do these people “support” The Heritage Foundation and its stand on RCV or do they not?
They support whatever allows them to retain power or game their way into power. In places with clear red majorities, they don't like it. In places with clear blue majorities, they like it. Also Jungle primaries.
If NYC was most of California. The primary would be "open" with the top 2 vote getters in the General election. Mostly 2 Democrats. THEN the Republicans would vote for the Democrat that could knock off the Democrat they dislike the most. Most of the time it doesn't work. But it does occasionally and it's stupid. At least NYC has closed primaries.
