Is it just me, or have they twisted up the whole thing with their weird arguments? I could be wrong, but I am also a big supporter of RCV.

Welcome to the Ranked Choice Voting Community!
Voting is broken! Let's fix it.
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a voting system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. If a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, they are declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and votes for that candidate are redistributed to the remaining candidates, based on the next preference on each ballot. This process continues until one candidate has a majority. Learn more about how it works.

RCV is going to be hardest where there's both money and enough population for lots of votes.
Maine and Alaska were comparatively easy because of that. CO and CA are going to be more of a battle.
