Well, you're not wrong, but I am compelled to point out that *elections can be done better* in a lotta ways. Let's get through this one right way up, and then talk about how we can make future elections less shitty.

Of course incumbents are usually the opposition to reform. Not always; the Oregon leg did agree to put a ranked-choice voting referendum on the ballot this year (not my preferred reform there, but an improvement). Other times itтАЩs possible to get a referendum despite the politicians.

I am compelled to say that politicians are not generally interested in elections being done better ;)
What they are interested in is having them done in ways that improve their chances of winning.

It is usually despite the politicians. There is at least one GoP state that has outlawed ranked choice voting.
