I don't understand why Ranked is so popular. Range voting is just easier and better in every single way.

  > better in every single way. Range can't satisfy Condorcet (that is, if there is a candidate that would win every head-to-head, that candidate should win the election). Of course, the most common approaches to RCV also fail that criterion, but it's potentially a way some ranked methods are better than range methods.

    > Range can't satisfy Condorcet That is not necessary a desirable feature. If that is desirable or not depends on your value system of what elections should achieve. What is 'fair' or 'correct' is not universal.

      Granted, but it seems a reasonable enough thing to ask for that "better in every single way" deserves qualification.
