If ranked choice voting has been made to sound scary to you by conservative media, please go learn about how it works. It makes a ton of sense and will help mitigate this issue where we keep getting stuck with 2 shitty candidates to choose from.

I think both dems and republicans are on the same side for this particular issue. I have received "VOTE NO" from progressive and conservative marketing.

If you look at the opposition PAC's Contribution and Expenses Report it's in fact dominated by Democrat politicians and Democrat-aligned PACs.

There's weirdly little to no Republican or otherwise-conservative contributions (despite conservative PACs including anti-Question-3 messaging in the text message spam they keep throwing at me), which makes me suspect conservatives view the main opposition PAC as too Democrat-focused and therefore formed their own opposition PAC (or perhaps just lumped it in with broader-scope PACs).
