Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Rank Choice Voting - are there states set up to do this for the primaries?
I was wondering about rank choice voting for the primaries. It seems like it would be a good idea with all candidates there will be. I know it will thin out by then, but there still will be a few. I think rank choice is fair way to select one from a group.

You can look up your state, plus see what others are doing.

but given that the delegates are handed out proportionally, only candidates with less than 15% would have their voters opting for a second choice.
