This piece seems to have been written by someone with no knowledge of voting methods other than first-past-the-post and IRV. Looking outside these two options there are clearly better ones, such as approval voting, which is even simpler. IRV isn't even monotonic! I don't know why IRV seems to be such an attractive nuisance. Please, skip IRV, just use approval voting.
