My city had ranked choice voting implemented by Democrats in the 1970s. They elected the first black mayor, who is still one of our most beloved mayors in the city's history, under RCV.
Then Republicans made it illegal at a state level when they had a trifecta. Democrats keep introducing bills at the state level to allow RCV, and Republicans take more and more drastic action against it. So yeah... I want more Democrats in my state government so we can have RCV.
Why don't you name the city and mayor?
Because I didn't think it particularly important for countering this same old tired BS. But if you really want to know, it's Ann Arbor, MI and the mayor was Albert Wheeler.
(Edit and fun fact: I'm writing this from Wheeler Park right now ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)
