> one of the key issues for the US that rarely gets discussed is that we can't use it to elect our President, due to the 12th Amendment, unless you're OK with the states selecting him/her instead. The 12th Amendment states that the Presidential winner has to have a majority of the Electoral College votes on the first round of voting- no multiple rounds- otherwise each state gets to cast one vote to pick who out of the top 3 candidates gets the job This sounds like it would preclude a nation-wide RCV implementation (without a constitutional amendment), but a per state implementation of RCV would still be an improvement over the current system in my opinion. I don't see how that would run afoul of the constitution, but I'm not a lawyer.
