"I shouldn't have left. I mean, honestly, because we did so, we did so well," Trump said.

"We had such a great, so now, I mean, every, every polling booth has hundreds of lawyers standing there. It's all about the lawyers," he added.

The Limits of Ranked-Choice Voting
vs approval voting

After much research, “Fargo became the first city to implement approval voting in 2018. Approval voting does have its criticisms (like any method). [It’s] simpler, it also performs substantially better than RCV. It’s much better about vote splitting, you can always support your honest favorite, it helps third parties, it’s workable for presidential elections, and it’s fine for primaries (presidential and otherwise)” https://electionscience.org/research-hub/the-limits-of-ranked-choice-voting
