Is this a case where "one person one vote" going away may allow more candidates to actually appear?
If you're a fringe single-issue candidate, you can more easily push your issue by running on that issue (while adopting most other parts of the most similar mainstream candidate).
In our current system you would be a spoiler. With a better voting system like Approval, you would not. I prefer RCV to Approval (so the single-issue candidate can signal issue strength) but either are a big improvement to the status quo.
