[Lnc-business] drama over RCV in Maine

[Alicia Mattson]

I thought you would enjoy the vocabulary choices in this article portraying
Maine's ranked choice voting as being some dirty trick.  I like the talk
about the scary proprietary algorithm that decides how the votes are
re-allocated in round 2.

Of course, if the tables were turned, and the Democrat had the plurality
but lost to the Republican in runoff rounds, the Democrats would be making
the same complaints.
