If ranked-choice voting seems complicated, you can rely on two simple rules:
1. Do not rank anyone (like Cuomo) who would be a bad mayor
2. Rank EVERY candidate who would be a good mayor, until you run out of votes
i guess i understand ranking cuomo first - a lot of people believe different things than i do - but i do not understand ranking cuomo anywhere but first. it feels like every non-cuomo voter should be a never-cuomo voter.
The second rule is important. Garcia was able to consolidate the non-Adams vote and came THIS CLOSE to beating him. Only a fraction of those votes came from ballots where Garcia was ranked #1.
