1. Nope, other way around

Sara Gideon and then Lisa Savage

[brooklynite]

2. What would the point of that be?

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

3. Because I prefer Sara Gideon over Lisa Savage

[brooklynite]

6. In which case, why would you vote for Savage as #2?

RCV is only relevant if you want to make a statement by voting for a minor Party candidate, knowing that it won't have an impact on your "real" vote.

7. Because that is my preference

And I always rank them all. Not interested in supporting an independent over the dem this time around.

9. Because the candidate that is the least desirable should be voted on as the last choice.

If nobody wins in the first count of the vote, then there is strategic importance putting Susan Collins as either the fourth or fifth choice so she does not make the cut when the ballots are counted the second or third time.

RCV is just as relevant to eliminate undesirable candidates as it is to indicate a preference for a minor party or independent candidate.

8. I would never vote for a Green...not ever.

GOP by any other name and they take money from the GOP and last time the Russians to help elect GOP types.

4. I really like the "ranked choice" voting

We have a ballot question in our state about moving to "ranked choice voting." My vote was yes.

5. Maine has made a great choice. The other states should follow their example
