Failure of pick-one ballots

Fall River, MA, March 12, 2019. 61% vote to remove mayor (39% vote to keep mayor). Ballot includes race for next mayor. 35% vote for the old mayor. The vote gets split and 35% is the 'winner'. 61%-65% of the people, a solid majority, wanted something else but the system failed them. This isn't democracy. This is a bug, we should fix it by moving to ranked choice ballots.
