      The federal government doesn’t control elections. You handle that at the state (or county/parish/whatever) level. At least here in Oregon, people can bring measures to the ballot by petition rather than waiting for the legislature to do anything about it, and given two party monopoly, they aren’t going to do anything about it for you.

        Support and donate to a party that does support ranked choice voting and they’ll be able to run state level candidates

          I don’t think it’s going to matter what party supports RCV. Once it’s the law of your area, candidates will be running in an RCV election whether they supported it or not.

            How will RCV be implemented in states without ballot measures? Have to vote for a party that will implement it.

      So the Dems then, their voting rights policy has moved towards at the very least making it much easier to switch to a PR system of any kind.
