Missouri joins other red states in trying to stamp out ranked choice voting
npr.org
ST. LOUIS — Five states have banned ranked choice voting in the last two months, bringing the total number of Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10.
Missouri could soon join them.
If approved by voters, a GOP-backed measure set for the state ballot this fall would amend Missouri’s constitution to ban ranked choice voting.

Pretty straightforward to me. But grandma gets confused, so we can't possibly implement it.
/s because it'll probably be needed
That is literally the problem. People resistant to change (willfully or not) don't want RCV.
No /s required.
Where I live we have RCV for some local government stuff but central government voting is MMP, which works quite well (except in the opinion of our conservatives). TL;DR: you vote for a candidate and also for a party. The party vote essentially sets how many seats each party gets in parliament, the candidate vote is for who represents your electorate.
