Ranked choice voting outperforms the winner-take-all system used to elect nearly every US politician
Ranked choice voting largely avoids the pitfalls of plurality voting, giving voters the power to express their true candidate preferences rather than being strategic.

3 out of every 4 races for Sacramento's city council are decided in the Primary Election in the Spring... Why is that bad? Because very few people vote in the Primary! People show up to vote in the Fall but Sac's already crowned a winner in the Spring! They've been cut out of the process
