People have been saying that they low key don't know how ranked choice voting ( #YesOn2) works, so I'm going to try explain it with this pizza example.
Let's say you and 9 friends want to order a pizza. 4 want anchovies, 3 want cheese, 2 want pepperoni and 1 wants mushroom. (1/?)

Under the current system, you're having anchovies, even if 60% of you *did not* want anchovies.
Under ranked choice voting, since no option got more than 50%, you'd eliminate last place mushroom and count that person's second choice as though mushroom was never an option (2/?)

Their second choice is cheese, now you're 4 for anchovies, 4 for cheese and 2 for pepperoni. There's still no 50+% majority so pepperoni, as the last choice, gets eliminated. Both people who voted for pepperoni had cheese as their second choice, so cheese wins with 60% (3/?)
Its like in the presidential caucuses where if a candidate doesn't make the delegate threshold their voters can be absorbed by another candidate, but it happens in secret on your ballot (4/?) #YesOn2 #RankedChoiceVoting #MAPoli
Don't come for me over 10 people eating one pizza, pretend there's a bogo coupon but you have to buy two exact same pizzas to use it (5/5)
