@ike Yeah. Ranked choice is the most prominent single-winner alternative voting system in the US, but I think it has problems with complexity (both in the ballot and in the apparently paradoxical outcomes that sometimes occur) and with the kinds of strategic voting it encourages (to avoid those paradoxical outcomes). 1/

@ike Approval voting also (all nonstochastic electoral systems) also admit strategic voting, but the situation is simpler and voters can understand an affirmative case for not voting strategically, and voters who do abstain from voting strategically can become determinative of elections, so there is a kind of incentive to generosity. I’ve written a bit about it here: drafts.interfluidity.com/2024/ /fin
