Rank choice voting?
I hate it for now. It’s the only reason the wrong candidate keeps winning in Alaska especially if no one gets 50 percent in the first round

Rank choice voting also fails IIA. It also tends to disfavor centrist candidates who are broadly acceptable but have few first place votes

That depends on the scoring system. One of the interesting elements of social choice theory is that there is no "correct" scoring rubric.
I assume that means the dominant party pushes for the scoring metric that they assume will favor them most often.
