Absolutely false. Strategic Plurality Voting means NOT voting for your favorite, e.g. a Green voting Democrat. With Approval Voting, that same voter's best strategy is to vote Democrat AND Green. THAT is why you'd vote for more than one candidate.
Later-no-harm is a silly "anti-criterion" that causes more harm than benefit. See explanation by a Princeton math PhD who co-founded the Center for Election Science.

FairVote lacks expertise and lies a lot.

Here's a layman friendly talk I gave to the Colorado League of Women Voters a few years back.

- state_less 10y agoThanks for posting all this info. In the youtube video, I liked the end where you talked about an objective satisfaction measure for these systems. For someone who wants to be able to provide more preference information at the ballot, and is not married to any particular method, it does make you wonder, why not directly use the objective measure for voting? You'd get a 1-1 correspondence. Wouldn't that maximize satisfaction and the voting method objective function?
- ClayShentrup 10y agoYou can't use it for voting because the voting system isn't omniscient. http://scorevoting.net/WhyNoHumans http://scorevoting.net/WhyNoHumans
