He probably would have still won but you can’t make that determination directly

Probably a lot of people voted for him as first because they could have another, more known option as option 2.

Like in the National elections imagine that there was ranked choice. A third party would get a significant amount of votes, maybe even surpassing the democrats, but without this ranked choice, the inertia is just too high and it’s too risky to vote for them.
