How big of a lead does Adams (or whoever) need to survive the instant-runoff process? @fairvote has tracked 15 come-from-behind RCV winners since 2004, and most were within a few points of the 1st-round leader.pic.twitter.com/hCdDDY67Fo

There are cases where RCV fails to deliver a maximally democratic outcome--in the 2009 Burlington, VT election a more centrist candidate would've won 1-on-1 against either of the other top two, but he had the third most 1st-place votes and got eliminated.
So if, like, Tung would've got 75% of Loftus's second-choice votes and beat Boudin in the last round, maybe that'd be an RCV failure. But as far as we know the "moderate" votes didn't split like that.
