Ranked choice is not that simple, and the math doesn't mean what the words say because you don't have to rank your choices honestly. Say you have one guy you want most, A, a second much less, B, and a third abhorrent, C. You can rank the abhorrent guy above B in order to lower B's rank even more, with the assumption that most people aren't going to rank C high. People in A and B camps can both try this strategy and C, who only a small minority actually wants as first choice ends up winning.
