We have ranked choice now! We haven't had an actual election since it was finalized into law, though. It was a direct result of the election that resulted in Governor Asshat getting in due to a) way too many people in the Republican primary (he essentially squeaked through on a wave of far-right frenzy despite being most people's least desired choice, because there were a bazillion people in it that year) and b) his only serious competition in the general election having a major sexual harassment scandal a week before the election and dropping out.

So basically our primaries and general elections are going to be ranked choice, and the next round of elections will be the first time we'll test it out. I'm really curious what it's going to be like.
