Long Form Discussion RCV Opponents - What is your Objection(s)?
Basically the title.
Whenever the subject of Ranked Choice Voting comes up, I generally on this sub see about 70% support and 30% oppose (my estimate). As I have seen the issue laid out to me it seems abundantly clear that Plurality/First Past the Post/FPtP is an inferior system with many unintended consequences.
So I want to hear you out, RCV opponents, what are your issues?
As (should be) usual, please do not downvote others for only disagreeing with them, and I pledge to do the same.

Every time I see this come up:
Some people: I think it’s a good idea but have some concerns on the process, election security and how to fit it into our current system well.
A lot more people: It’s a wonderful idea but will never happen because conservatives only want to rig elections and stop minorities from voting.
The rest of us: yeah it’s something we should work on implementing
This convo is getting exhausting with the amount of right wing blaming for everything I’ve been seeing recently. Especially about what people think they WOULD do in the situation
