No because the system is overly complicated, thus the lack of trust in the system because it can't be validated by a common person.

But if a heavy blue state elected a red governor (especially with a popular blue opponent) out of nowhere immediately after switching to a new voting system people here would be suspicious right?

But because it happens that blue candidates are winning in areas they weren't before, everyone here is fine looking the other way and even defending it.

It was a ballot initiative that passed by will of the people. Who are you to argue about their decision?

Yes as I said I choose not to live there and would never live in a place where the voters choose such a system.

It's their choice, but it's a stupid choice. Personally it seems they were naive or even lied to about the outcome.

I can argue their decision because of the 1A. Same as you can argue against their previous system...
