Well, you might find yourself funding a multi-year campaign for nonpartisan primaries. Take for example the 2016 primary race for state Treasurer in Washington, a state with nonpartisan primaries. As a result, the general election was held between two candidates who received less than a majority of the primary vote combined. But its countermajoritarian tendency is only one of the problems with a nonpartisan primary system – or, only one of the benefits, depending on who you are. But if that’s the case, the question is whether RCV is worth the trade-offs that come with nonpartisan primaries, and I’m not sold.
