What's the difference between asking a group of people, "what's your favorite movie?" and "what movies do you like?". Which question is more polarizing? Which question will tell you what is liked by the most people? Which shows where we overlap?

Rob Sand was asked about ranked choice voting at a recent town hall. His solution? Scrap the separate party primaries, put everyone on one ballot, send the top four forward, and use approval voting. What do you think? 👀 #RobSand #IowaPolitics #IowaNews #ApprovalVoting #RankedChoiceVoting

Heh yes I understand that #ApprovalVoting and other alternatives exist, I haven't been good at remembering them, the pros or cons, which have more support, etc. I appreciate the reminder.
We got a lot of problems that need this kind local first improvement.

Approval voting offers a fresh approach to redistricting. It's a method that would significantly reduce the incentive for partisan line-drawing and make elections more competitive. #ApprovalVoting #Redistricting #ElectionReform

✍️One such PR system is #ApprovalVoting (AP). Instead of ticking off one candidate at the ballot, voters will tick off all of the candidates they “approve” of, while leaving their undesired candidates’ slots blank.

#ApprovalVoting or #STARVoting would be better. IRV can't solve polarized two-party duopoly, vote-splitting, or the spoiler effect because it's still a zero-sum game just like choose-one voting. Your RCV ballot under IRV still only ever supports a single candidate, just one at a time in turns.

Score Voting has a strategic incentive to min/max scores—max score your favorite(s), min score everyone else. #ApprovalVoting solves that by, effectively, making every voter use that strategy, whereas #STARVoting solves it by making relative scores count in the runoff round.
