Bucklin has its own different issues. If anyone were promoting Bucklin, we could get into why it's not a good option. Within a strict ranked-ballot approach, the overall best tabulation is probably Ranked Pairs. STAR has some similarities with Bucklin but does not have its problems. STAR's advantages are several and aren't directly just a forgone conclusion merely by showing what's wrong with IRV. STAR is much simpler to tabulate than Ranked Pairs and doesn't need to be tabulated at the highest level, it can be counted at precincts like FPTP.
