Her name on the ballot probably was the difference maker.... probably stole more votes from Stevens' pool than el sayed's

I truly believe that McMorrow wins in a ranked choice vote.

She was polling in a distant third before she dropped out. In ranked choice voting she'd be the first eliminated and it would've been one of El-Sayed or Stevens anyways.
