   Does anyone know in ranked choice voting, what happens to candidates who are unranked on a ballot?

     @kingrat @toddo Disagree, rank them all, especially if you feel strongly about any candidate(s) /not/ winning. Rank the one(s) you like at the top, the one(s) you absolutely despise at the bottom, and your best opinions for the rest in the middle.

     After you stop ranking, you lose all say in the later rounds.

     @haljor @toddo Anyone you rank gets your vote in later rounds. Rank candidates you find distasteful above hard nos, but don't rank the hard nos.

     @kingrat @toddo If all of your ranked choices are eliminated, then you lose your voice. (That's an important point I should have made more clear.)

     @haljor @toddo Tha only matters if you prefer one of the hard nos over the others. Which means that preferred candidate isn't a hard no.
