npub16wsc9zvd9nrlys7ea82uv3az6zc804sxeu3vff4q0q8qy26sykgsf8sl6a (npub16ws…sl6a) The article you linked to says RCV is prone to vote-splitting, but doesn't explain why. It simply says that "The most well known example of a spoiled election in a Ranked Choice election was the 2009 mayoral race in Burlington, Vermont." Do you have an explanation of the problem?

(In the cartoon example, RCV would transfer the Leia voters to Luke, defeating Vader.)
