Like what implication are these folks making?

https://www.betterballotvermont.org/how-rcv-works 

"If your favorite candidate can’t win, your vote counts instantly for your second choice, ..."

falsehood.

"[RCV] will ensure that the winner has the support of a true majority of voters."

another falsehood.

"Ranked choice voting allows more than two candidates to compete without fear of a “spoiler effect” ... "

another falsehood.

"Ranked choice voting ensures majority rule, rather than allowing a candidate to win with just 40 percent of the vote in a plurality."

They evidently think that 48% is a majority.

Michael, you might wanna be careful about being the pot calling the kettle "black".
