STAR voting does not eliminate strategic voting.
Suppose you are left, and there are three candidate, left, center, right.
Honestly you would rank then as 5, 3, 1. But center candidate is better for you than right. So you are going to vote 5, 5, 1. So STAR voting is effectively an approval voting.

And also flawed for other reasons I discuss in that blog link.
