the people who demand same day results might not like that system.   i can see it taking awhile to get final results sometimes 

 

If no candidate wins a majority of first-place votes, the candidate who finished last is eliminated, and his or her supporters’ second-place votes are allocated. If there’s still no candidate with a majority, the process is repeated with the next-to-last candidate. This continues until someone gains a majority and is declared the winner.

I hope ranked choice catches on rapidly. 

 

Regarding the results, if it is advertised and known ahead of time it will be tabulated in 72 hours, it could make a difference.

I'd like to learn more about it. If it's good enough to award the Heisman Trophy, it should work for representational democracy.
