I would also be concerned about any state's move to ranked voting. Washington has it for primaries. In a way, you could end up with two Dem candidates in an election for a senate seat.
This encroachment is happening, ranked choice voting. We now have a system where two candidates from different parties square off and it's referred to as "winner take all." It is what it is. "Choice" voting sounds much nicer but IMO, opens floodgates for fraud and manipulation because it's more complex and maybe not as easy to insure it is handled honestly. Maybe new candidate A gets interest but can't get the 50%+ and incumbent B is the second choice enough that B wins. It just seems if you combine a ranked choice voting system with Fractional Magic vote rigging you can keep a party or incumbent in place. With Choice voting, if you did vote for a couple fewest preference candidates, so even your second choice didn't make it- your vote was thrown out- or maybe "reassigned." You got no vote at all in the election. Maybe the current system lacks that "choice" but at least your vote counts. (In an honest election)

Broadly speaking, the ranked-choice voting process unfolds as follows for single-winner elections:
-
Voters rank the candidates for a given office by preference on their ballots.
-
If a candidate wins an outright majority of first-preference votes (i.e., 50 percent plus one), he or she will be declared the winner.
-
If, on the other hand, no candidates win an outright majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated.
-
All first-preference votes for the failed candidate are eliminated, lifting the second-preference choices indicated on those ballots.
-
A new tally is conducted to determine whether any candidate has won an outright majority of the adjusted voters.
-
The process is repeated until a candidate wins a majority of votes cast.
As of 2020, one state (Maine) had implemented RCV at the state level, eight states contained jurisdictions that had implemented RCV at some level, and another five states contained jurisdictions that had adopted but not yet implemented RCV in local elections. In November 2020, voters in Massachusetts and Alaska decided ballot initiatives to establish ranked-choice voting for state-level elections. In November 2020, Maine voters were the first to vote for president using ranked-choice voting.
But you don't have to have ranked voting at a presidential or state level if you conduct your primaries this way, like Washington state:
https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/top2primaryfaq.aspx
"A Top 2 Primary allows voters to vote for any candidate running in each race."
"The two candidates who receive the most votes in the Primary Election qualify for the General Election. A candidate must also receive at least 1% of the votes cast in that race to advance to the General Election."
"Candidates for partisan office may state a preference for a political party, which appears on ballots and in voters’ pamphlets. For example:
John Smith Jane Doe
(Prefers Democratic Party) (Prefers Republican Party)
Or candidates can choose to not state a party preference."
"Regardless, the party preference information has no bearing on how officials conduct the election or who advances from the Primary to the General. Instead, which candidates advance depends solely on how many votes they receive in the Primary."
Combine that kind of primary with vote counting fraud or Fractional Magic and you can have a slate of all Democrat candidates. While maybe we should be voting for the person and not the party, this kind of set up may not being used that way. It just seems ripe with election counting vote fraud possibilities.
