In PA if you are a registered to a party that is the only party you can vote for in the primaries.

Matt can explain #4 better than most of us.

Alaska is currently using it.

You will be stunned to find that the gop mostly objects to it. 

My google AI search result threw out these stats:

[color=var(--mc5)]Ranked choice voting (RCV) is a voting method that allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. In a survey, 61% of voters favored using RCV in general federal elections, including 73% of Democrats and 55% of independents. Republicans were divided, with 49% in favor and 50% opposed.[/color][/color]

The Virginia, Utah, and Indiana Republican parties use RCV in state conventions and primaries. RCV ballots are also used by overseas voters in six states as a contingency in the case of a runoff election. Many credit Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's win in Virginia to the fact that his party used a ranked-choice voting system in its closed nomination process.[/color][/color]
