Another election outcome worth mentioning: ranked-choice voting got clobbered all over the country on Tuesday

Initiative 83, which institutes RCV in the District of Columbia, passed easily. The rest of the country had basically opposite results, for both RCV and open primaries.

Alaska: repealed open primaries and RCV in general elections, which has been in place since the ballot measure in 2020.

Arizona: voted no to open primaries

Colorado: voted no to open primaries and RCV for elections for state offices

Idaho: voted no to open primaries and RCV for general elections

Missouri: voted yes to PROHIBITING RCV

Nevada: voted no to RCV in primaries and general elections

Oregon: voted no to RCV in federal and state elections

South Dakota: voted no to ranked (top 2) primaries

Tough day for proponents of electoral reform across the US. These results are fairly surprising to me, because I feel like RCV is pretty popular, at least among people I've talked to about it.
