We have RCV here in Alaska. It seems like a solution in search of a problem. In many races, the Republican and Democrat candidates that come in 3rd or 4th place in the primaries, winning the right to appear on general election ballot, drop out to avoid splitting the vote and hurting their party. This allows the some oddball 5th and 6th place candidates to end up on the ballot. Eric Hafner is on ballot for US House even though he has never lived in Alaska and is doing 20 years in prison for making bomb threats.
