No. Each choice would count until the chosen candidate was eliminated. If the chosen candidate received the fewest votes in the first round and was eliminated none of the other votes would count.Is it presumptuous of me to assume you are a Trump supporter? This kind idiocy is the usual mode - it's how they argue. Make a boneheaded claim and just keep repeating it - hoping that other morons believe it.Are you not looking at the sample ballot? Can you not see that first, second, third, fourth and fifth and sixth choices can all be the same person?Of course it is possible to vote for the same person five times.
That's not true. Are you an idiot, or just a liar?
If a voter was stupid enough to select the same candidate for 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc ... one of two things would happen, depending on the specific implementation of RCV. Either their ballot would be deemed invalid and discarded, or their vote would simply be counted, once, for their first place choice.
As I said, it's hard to say whether you're an idiot or a troll. But your opposition to RCV isn't serious or rational.
Ranked choice voting looks designed to elect the most objectionable and least qualified. Votes aren't counted so much as herded.
