- specialist 6y agoThanks. Great survey of all the talking points. File under narcissism of small differences: I've been equating RCV with Score Voting, not IRV. I'll review the literature and see where I'm wrong. I do not support IRV. It's an election integrity nightmare for little or no gain over Approval Voting. My introduction to election stuff was thru IRV advocacy. Then I learned about tabulation complexity. Over time, my position changed to PR for assemblies and Approval Voting for executives. I now wonder if Approval Voting could (should) also be used for PR. That's all to say my strong-opinions-loosely-held about voting systems is motivated by us forging a better democracy, not any particular implementation. I'll realpolitik support any path forward.
