"In the 2020 presidential election, Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen’s share of the vote was much higher than the margins between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the key battleground states of Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona. If Trump had won those three states, he and Biden would have tied in the Electoral College vote at 269 apiece, and all hell would have broken loose."

If all states had implemented Top-Two Electoral College Vote Proportional Allocation (T-2PA/J), Biden would have won with 276 votes compared to Trump's 262 votes.

"Or flash back to the presidential election in 2000 – with RCV, the 97,000 Ralph Nader voters in Florida would have had the option of ranking a second choice."

If all states had implemented T-2PA/J, Gore would have won with 270 votes compared to Bush's 268 votes.
