New system needs bugs worked out when massively scaled up? Never happens in the private sector, right?
Give it time. Rome wasn't built, etc.
We've had ranked choice in California (San Francisco/Oakland) for years. It's not new. But they effed it up anyway in NYC. Couldn't wait to do it. Our unfair "open" primaries in California are a whole other ridiculous system designed to uplift the unpopular. It hardly ever works. They're popularly known as "Jungle Primaries."
Everybody is afraid of people simply voting.
It's this kind of jungle primary nonsense that empowers weaker parties to go berserk in capitols from Sacramento to D.C. When a group starts feeling like they have "no chance" at representation, that's where bad trouble begins. It'll be interesting to see what happens to Newsom on Sept. 14. Without someone of Ahnalt's star-power running, we're left with a failed mayor from San Diego, and a hick with a bear for a sidekick (also from San Diego). Oh, and Caitlyn Jenner, too. Swimming upstream ain't gonna win her any extra votes. No one in their right mind - politically, anyway - will dare hop in as a Democratic candidate to challenge the San Francisco Treat … Now where's the tax rebates? Oops, only poor people will be getting these benefits. Those Californians who put in the most tax will get nothing but more nonsense in their accounts.
