    Explain how people have to vote strategically in ranked choice. I don’t believe you yet.

      By not meeting the monotonicity, Condorcet winner, and participation criteria, IRV may incentivize forms of tactical voting (such as compromising) when voters have sufficient information about other voters’ preferences, such as from accurate pre-election polling.[49] FairVote mentions that monotonicity failure can lead to situations where “having more voters rank [a] candidate first, can cause [the candidate] to switch from being a winner to being a loser.”[50]

        I’m not literate enough to understand that. Why don’t you explain it?

            Instant runoff is great and nobody on Lemmy can explain what they think is wrong with it.

              Hey I’m a fan of instant runoff. I just found out approval is even better (IMO). I’ll take either one happily.
