But there really wasn’t a campaign to speak of. There were some commercials and signs against it (some nonsense about how ranked choice wasn’t really choice, it didn’t make any sense), but I don’t remember seeing anything from the pro side.
It was like they just expected everyone to know it was the better option and didn’t bother to campaign.
Also live in mass. I remember almost everyone I talked to about it said they were voting no because they didn’t understand it and it was too confusing. I tried to educate as many people as I could and I did convince several, but some people just don’t like to learn about anything that seems a bit confusing at first and would rather just vote no because that seems like the easier option.
You’ll have to run a better campaign than Massachusetts did when they tried to get it.

Their neighbor to the north—Maine—successfully passed it, but guess which party has been trying to revoke it or stymie it at every turn?
Oooh, I think I know this one, Party of Five?
Party Down
I don’t see what kind of campaign issues they had from this link. Was it just that it was only seemingly endorsed by left leaning groups?
I mostly meant the fact that it lost.

I live in MA, voted for this, and was seriously confused when it lost. Not enough education about it and too much stupid fear mongering, I assume.
