How is ranked choice voting like a March Madness bracket? I thought ranked choice voting was where you rank candidates based on preference. A bracket is basically a series of binomial choices and would be closer to the system we have now.

level of complexity

My thinking also. Not that I think ranked choice is overly complex, mind, and I would welcome it over a first past the post system. But the March Madness bracket is easily less complex to my mind, so doesn't really get the point across well.
