I just saw a post on Alaska and ranked choice voting. I thought I understood it. Now I don’t.
Help please.

Hillary and DJT both sucked, none of us wanted to vote for either. But, if a magical, third person had been running, we couldn’t vote for them because we did have a preference for one of them over the other and magical third party candidate had no chance because – two party system. In ranked choice you can say, ‘I vote for magical #3’ unless they don’t get enough votes to win and it comes down to Hillary vs DJT, in which case, I vote for <the less terrible of those two IMO>.
Mostly. There’s a chance that one of the major party candidates gets a majority in the first round and your second choice vote never gets registered.
