- ElijahLynn 6y agoCan you clarify if by "Is bad" you mean not as good as STAR or worse than the First Past The Poll (current system)? It does sound like STAR is better than RCV, especially after reading about it here https://www.wired.com/story/dana-debeauvoir-texas-county-clerk-voting-tech-revolution/ https://www.wired.com/story/dana-debeauvoir-texas-county-cle... (A Texas County Clerk’s Bold Crusade to Transform How We Vote). I do wonder if those adopting RCV are still in a better place, than FPTP, simply because it decreases voter apathy and gives voters a chance to be "heard", thus increasing participation. At least in the short run, I feel like RCV is still a win, even though it may not be as optimal as STAR.
