Google tells me Biden won with ~52%. But doesn't tell me how the numbers actually fell out, or who gets how many EVs, or why.

Honest question. Not trying to criticize or offer opinions, just curious how it went.

1 ev per district and 2 ev for overall win. Trump took 1 point for D2 the other guy got 1 point for D1 and 2 for state win. Since buttden got over 50% it didn’t go into rcv.  If this is wrong please correct it lol.

Rcv did not kick in.

I worked as a ballot machine monitor at one of the polling places.  I had to explain to voters to open their folded ballots to slide them into the machine.  It was inevitable for me to begin seeing certain parts of their ballot and it was evident that they did NOT participate in the RCV.  They left the other candidates blank.  So, there can't be RCV if no one uses it.  This has always bothered me about RCV.  If, say, half of the voters don't rank the candidates then do the other half that do rank them affect the first half if there is no 50% candidate?

Thanks, guys. The concept fascinates me. I sort of hope it takes off.

Until today I had not met a person who does not utterly loathe RCV. Apparently they exist.

Look around you. The current scheme isn't working out very well for us.

RCV *could* allow a third party to become viable without dooming us to DNC takeover. It also would allow us to actually express our opinion on each candidate.

Imagine if every candidate could get a vote of -1, 0, or 1. Or if we had three votes (a -1, a 0, and a 1) to give to the three candidates we most wanted to weigh in on.

This *could* work out well for us. The current system, however, is almost useless, as we are watching it unfold right now.

YMMV.

If the DNC wants it, we don't.  During this election Gideons people were trying to keep Collin's votes below 50% so RCV would kick in.  Fortunatly it didn't.

The current system works perfectly fine. The problem is all of the shenanigans pushed by leftist groups that has infiltrated our voting system.

If you have election day, everyone shows up to vote with their SSN and ID in hand and just picks the one candidate they want, it is very simple!. I am fine with absentee ballots but it should be the same, verify you are a citizen and eligible to vote and vote early- preferably in person.

RCV works overwhelmingly in the democrat's favor and has already proven as such here in Maine with Jared Golden. Additionally it is how we got it in the first place after Paul Lepage won a second term with less than 50% of the vote. The ballot is essentially one republican and 8 more democrats calling themselves something different. Angus King just as an example. A republican is going to bullet vote because their second choice is not going to be a democrat or independent whereas an "independent" may vote their candidate as 1st choice and the democrat as the second choice.

On top of all those reasons it is a farce, the amount of ballots that are spoiled increases dramatically because of the mental gymnastics required to understand it and understand all the valid and invalid ways to mark the ballot.

One person. One vote, winner take all. That does not mean I advocate for a national popular vote. I would actually love to see at the state level an electoral college type system which here in Maine would keep all the socialists/leftists in check with the rest of the people in this state.

I really hope this post is a joke. RCV is another form of cheating.

Prove me wrong. I fucking dare you to try.

RCV is to ELECTIONS as ASS TO MOUTH is to PORN.
