    It’s about preservation of power.

    In any solid red or blue location, the party in control will promote any narrative to discredit RCV because it could only weaken their influence in the area.

    For example, most people who are progressives vote blue only because the alternative is far worse. But if a heavily blue state were to pass RCV, it might mean gasp that Democrats lose seats to a more progressive party.

      WORST nightmare of liberal fortresses with a significant percentage of alienated progressives such as Detroit, Portland, Austin and all of California!
