But there really wasn’t a campaign to speak of. There were some commercials and signs against it (some nonsense about how ranked choice wasn’t really choice, it didn’t make any sense), but I don’t remember seeing anything from the pro side.
It was like they just expected everyone to know it was the better option and didn’t bother to campaign.
Also live in mass. I remember almost everyone I talked to about it said they were voting no because they didn’t understand it and it was too confusing. I tried to educate as many people as I could and I did convince several, but some people just don’t like to learn about anything that seems a bit confusing at first and would rather just vote no because that seems like the easier option.
You’ll have to run a better campaign than Massachusetts did when they tried to get it.

I don’t see what kind of campaign issues they had from this link. Was it just that it was only seemingly endorsed by left leaning groups?
I mostly meant the fact that it lost.

I live in MA, voted for this, and was seriously confused when it lost. Not enough education about it and too much stupid fear mongering, I assume.

Their neighbor to the north—Maine—successfully passed it, but guess which party has been trying to revoke it or stymie it at every turn?
Oooh, I think I know this one, Party of Five?
