I read the linked article and I found it kinda scatterbrained. It seemed to dispute claims or tweets about how a vote works, along with what head to head voting outcomes would be.

I do find how the math works out interesting. But I don’t find either disputes all that compelling.

The head to head polling is interesting… but that’s not how the election works. The fact that two systems would be different seems normal to me.

Folks who go to a ranked choice vote and pick just one, that’s their choice too. Same with people who don’t vote and so on.

Not to say the article is worthless, it is interesting, but I’m not sure I agree with the conclusions.
