ostensible answer:
real answer: republicans don’t win as much when rcv is in place.
I hate slogans like "one person, one vote" or "innocent until proven guilty" because so many people treat them as principles in themselves rather catchy names for principles that are much more nuanced than those names suggest. It doesn't matter how many "votes" a person has the ability to cast so long as everyone is given an equally opportunity to influence the outcome of an election.
Another one I hate is "Let me ask a simple yes or no question:" Proceeds to ask a very complex question with a lot of nuance
Then, when the person tries to clarify the person asking just says "I just want a yes or a no."
Both parties do it, and it's just scoring political points every time.
Yes as long as it isnt one person 8 votes another person 9. Although, the electoral college somewhat is that anyway... A vote in one state is not equivalent to a vote in another.
To paraphrase Reservoir Dogs: Senator Brown sounds an awful lot like Senator Shit..
