Considering the law of the land allows for whatever voting choice system someone wants, his suit has no merit. I'm sure he'll trot out the weaknesses of the ranked choice system, but in this case those weaknesses don't come into play when it's against "winner take all". Scored voting does seem like the best system overall, and I think nationwide that's the preferred one, but ranked choice is still an improvement over what we have now, and really a change in voting systems is exactly how we can get more than 2 viable parties.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
