    Yeah, would probably like to see ranked choice swapped out for something else too. My preferred tool is STAR, but there’s a lot of other options. The biggest benefit of RC is it isn’t as bad as what we have, which is good, but it isn’t great.

      There are multiple kinds of ranked choice voting. The “popular” one in America right now is IRV, but you shouldn’t assume all ranked choice voting algorithms are IRV and hence share its flaws (and benefits). My personal favorite RC algorithm is Ranked Pairs. I am not familiar with STAR.
