Approval voting is a cardinal system, not a ranked choice system. That's why it's able to satisfy all of the Arrow's Theorem criteria.

My problem with the cardinal systems is score/range systems which believe voters have a super-exact utility function and we just need to get it out. I strongly disagree with that assumption.
