Ranked choice voting (RCV) — also known as instant runoff voting (IRV) — makes our elections better by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference.
RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. If your first choice doesn’t have a chance to win, your ballot counts for your next choice.
RCV works in all types of elections and supports more representative outcomes. RCV means better choices, better campaigns, and better representation.

It's worth remembering that the majority of votes cast for President in 2024 were for a candidate other than Donald Trump; he got less than 50% of the votes that were cast for President. Making it so that those majority of votes aren't automatically split (and thus diminished) can be impactful, imo.
