score voting is simpler and better than STAR voting in every way, and approval voting is radically simpler and better in most scenarios. https://clayshentrup.medium.com/the-only-voting-reform-worth... and PR is a red herrin

that's only true of federal elections, not universally tho.

LOL, it's cardinal (rated) not ordinal (ranked), but yeah.

i know. and my point was, that's irrational. other voters determine the election result YOU have to live with.

that person is STRATEGIC VOTERS, who are about 90% of the electorate. even if you want to vote honestly, you're still subject to the whims of other voters. indeed, practically the only thing that matters in a voting method is the aggre

score voting is extremely good. https://www.rangevoting.org/BayRegsFig compressing it to approval voting doesn't hurt very much and makes the ballot extremely simple. > I don't see how. i just showed you how. b
