You might be interested in my answer in another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29266519#29277580 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29266519#29277580 I give an example from this year's Seattle primaries where RCV/IRV would have eliminated the candidate that most accurately reflects the electorate but Approval Voting would not have. That's not a trivial or rare situation, either, it's just such a simple race that it's easy to spot.
