then in the comments someone might pipe up that they like one of the other candidates.

I'm thinking the people who dislike Platner should start more OPs about the RCV system in Maine and the benefits of ranking other candidates #1 and #2. And fewer promoting, or defending the perceived veracity of, the attacks on Platner.

JMHO as a non-Maine resident.
