Ranked choice voting for Congress:

Today, Rep. Don Beyer, Sen. Peter Welch and I are introducing a bill to expand ranked choice voting to all elections for Congress. RCV assures that winners have majority support, no candidate acts as a “spoiler,” and the voting process favors positive coalition-building.

For some reason, these guys (and most Americans, to tell the truth) are afraid of ranked choice voting, mostly because they don't understand it.
