Honestly, I've yet to be convinced of a serious problem with Approval/Range Voting. They even survive Arrow's Theorem by not being ranked systems.

The problem is that FairVote, which advocates IRV (apparently because it's a useful steeping stone to the their REAL goal of STV), is run by a professional liar named Rob Richie, and he disseminates a massive amount of false and misleading information about voting systems.
