Everyone's going to tell you do the right thing, and I say fuck that. Put the wrong label on it, put it in an Ill used area of your work. If someone comes to discipline you, "oh, that one? I didn't steal it, I think I mislabeled it and put it down somewhere when I was busy. Honestly sorry, let me go get it."

How would ranked choice would ever prevent someone from winning if they would have received a majority of votes in a two party race? The only way they'd lose in ranked choice is if their opponent received more votes on the last cut than they did, and if so, would have beaten them anyway head to head. Sure, Ds and Rs are still winning because they are part of a massive political machine that will takes decades to dismantle if it even can be. But winning larger vote shares increases the power of third party candidates and parties even if they don't win an election. For example, many states require a % for a party to be listed on ballots, and that is much easier to achieve with ranked choice than with single vote.
