instant runoff would fix this, would it not?This massive error handed MAGA a blue state — and California is set to do the same - Raw Story
The 2016 Washington State Treasurer’s race offers a cautionary tale. All candidates competed together in the primary under similar rules to California. Three strong Democratic candidates split their vote nearly evenly, totaling 51.6%. But because there were only two Republicans to divide their smaller 48.4% share, the November ballot was Republican vs Republican. Washington got a Republican state Treasurer despite Hillary Clinton beating Donald Trump by 16 points in the state.The same could happen this year in California, where eight Democrats are running for governor.
