Agreed on all fronts. The election reform needs to start at local and state level to get people used to the idea, and because it would be easier to do in the first place. Ranked pairs seem like it would be cumbersome for "the average voter" to fill out on voting day if the number of candidates exceeds about four. And other methods like Schulze which do simple ranking but complicated math on the calculation are too math-y for "the average voter". I'm open to ideas but I think in this country we need simple simple simple, while getting rid of the spoiler effect. --- EDIT: Since I have been throttled by the "You're posting too fast, thanks" passive aggressive message, I'll respond here. I thought ranked pair method involved actually going through each pair and doing a 1v1 vote for every combination. If it is the same "input" as RCV, meaning a single list of preference, then I'm really interested.
