Can you share some actual evidence for your case? I really don't believe it. The anti-RCV story about Alaska 2022 holds that Palin spoiled round 1 of the instant runoff by splitting the vote with Begich, causing Begich to drop out. RCV only beats vote-for-one, unless you can make a convincing case otherwise.

Basic modelling on a 2D political compass gives a Yee diagram, demonstrating RCV's counterintuitive results. Yeah, that's theory, but Alaska 2022 demonstrates a real case of it. And the list of center-squeeze cases on the Wikipedia page, too.

> That's a core and long-proven theorem in social choice theory.
Do you mean Arrow's theorem? Doesn't apply to STAR or Approval.
> The idea that approval voting, STAR voting, or Condorcet voting is superior to RCV for this reason is a misconception based on decades-old research that is no longer current.
Share the research, please!
Here's some recent research, obviously biased for STAR and against RCV. https://www.equal.vote/peer_review https://www.equal.vote/peer_review
