We had ranked-choice-voting at the State level on the ballot here in Oregon and voters rejected it by about 60%.

Same in my state. I voted against the amendment that banned it but I actually didn’t fully realize it was about ranked choice voting until I checked results. I hate that shit. It makes me so angry.

I don't know why you are getting down voted. It's who beat them. White guys came out and voted it out.

I think both parties that have power right now are opposed to RCV because it makes their job harder - they would have to be For something rather than just Against they opponent

The parties themselves would dislike RCV, but the voting public should embrace it.

Came here to say this as well, and OR is a reliably liberal state.
