it helps to have a background in this field and not just assert your gut intuition as fact.

approval.vote Detailed reports on approval voting elections.

partly thanks to me, two US cities use approval voting, which is just a simplified form of score voting. absolutely nothing about that reality matches your claim.

My proposal specifically allows you to use approval voting on your party's list to affect the order. that gives voters who do want to vote for individual candidates a tremendous amount of flexibility. it's like a simplified version of latvia's system.

1. what is dead in the water is complexity. Even non-proportional single winner STV got obliterated in 2011.

2. this system compromises by letting them vote for the candidates on the list to at least affect the order.

3. You've cited zero evidence voters care about this anyway.

I'm one of the world's top experts on this subject, so if you're going to make an argument you're going to need some really powerful evidence.

no, the incentive is to be the most broadly appealing. in principle, that means everyone has an incentive to appear identical. you want to be the centroid position.

what about the fact that strategic score/approval is better than honest voting in most other systems?

but you need a PR mechanism that is simple and practical, and that's where I think approval voting and party list are the only reasonable options.

Fleeing Texas was the only way Democrats could block Trumpโ€™s plan to rig the midterms โ€œThe Republican members have outsourced our democracy to Mar-a-Lagoโ€

Re-gerrymandering a state to rig an election & then threatening to arrest and expel the members protesting that election rigging is pure authoritarianism

Texas Dems who fled state are fighting for very survival of American democracy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

The electoral reform movement is hamstrung by so much of the good work being done behind closed doors, and not wanting to celebrate until we win the war.
We need to be loud about every meeting. Every letter to the editor.

Iโ€™m worried that RCV is an intentional wedge issue that stops voting reform. Alternative Vote (an RCV method) failed in the UK because of its complexity.

No matter how much we want proportional representation the UK, RCV will cause it to fail.

Our opponents are counting on it.

I think you mean to say that it's non-excludable. whether it's rivalrous isn't the issue.

I don't see any point in bicameralism. latvia's Congress uses a 100 member unicameral body. it's party list, but you can prioritize your party's list by checking to approve or disapprove people so it's basically score voting.
