Gonzalez's main opponents, Carmen Rubio and Mingus Mapps, may cancel themselves out as first choices, but under "rank choice," they could get a second shot at Gonzalez, and maybe a third as well, as the elections folks recheck ballots over and over to compile the voters' rankings.Gonzalez had better hope he comes across as the first-round winner, because I doubt he'll be very many people's second choice.
