Cool. Can we also get moving on Ranked Choice Voting?

I’d take RCV over nothing, but STAR and approval are significantly better like the other user said.

Some reasons for approval

  • Addition is the only math involved. So it is extremely easy to get live results during counting. It makes auditing votes extremely easy.
  • It is dead simple to understand, so the least amount of voters will be confused by it.

A longer form explanation of some of the other stuff:

I love how this video explains the differences between the voting methods. It’s what made me prefer STAR over RCV.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I am a little disappointed that they didn’t include approval as one of the examples.

But still a fantastic video.
