Yeah, I'm in the district that had 1/5 voters just skip that section. I sat down with the voter's pamphlet and online resources to figure out who my top 6 were.
Fortunately, eliminating the fringe candidates was dead simple. But I did find, one of my chosen candidates actually had dropped out and wasn't on the ballot. Had to pick a #7 and move everyone up by 1.
Do you do this weird? Pretty sure you don't have to fill it all out. Can stop after 1 if that's who you want.
You can, but if the choice is to rank a top 6, only voting for one defeats the purpose of ranked choice voting.
