Since it came up in the last topic, yes, LFF can affect ranked choice voting because different orders of elimination lower down can result in different winners. This is why AV is flawed but STV fixes this issue by having multiple winners.

Did they have more than 3 candidates? Its possible with a very large field but in 3 candidates lff can't exist.

There were minor candidates but three major ones. Surely three is all you need though if one overlaps with both of the other two which is what happened here.

Actually, there's a little-known clause in the Constitution that states that, as long as you're a Republican, conflicts of interest don't exist for anything. I heard about it on facebook.

How do other countries do it? Legit curious. Electing judges seems to work even worse, and I'm not sure how to create a politically-neutral group to appoint them instead. I always thought the big difference was that other countries just didn't have any courts as powerful as the US Supreme Court.

Also, the GOP platform seems to be:

-Bring back student debt by unforgiving it
-Raise prescription drug prices
-Send seniors out of retirement and back to work

Most other countries that I am aware of have an independent body, yes. Some have a hybrid system (eg some appointed by the President, some by the parliament, some by the judges themselves), however you are right that elected judges is terrible. It should just be done by an independent body.

I think in theory other judges of the highest court are not necessarily less powerful, its just that the combination of the highly political nature of the appointments and Americas general inability to legislate on a national level or change the constitution makes the Supreme Court effectively dictators.

The Olds don't care. The ones that vote Republican realize they only mean poor old people, not old people who have money. Which is mostly directed at poor older minorities. Not old white rich folks like them.

She also basically did the legal work for Trump by making arguments Trump's legal team never asked for or made and even contradicting their actual arguments before her.
