RCV is completed enough that it's causing disenfranchisement problems with poor and low education voters. Better to go with approval voting, which gets the same results while making invalid ballots impossible.

The way we make that happen is by starting with local referendums and working our way up. It's a lot of work, but it's the main way good stuff happens in our democracy.

That abstract describes disenfranchisement due to overvote, which is choosing more candidates than allowed. If these fucking morons cannot follow directions, they likely are too stupid to be trusted to vote. I'd rather that type of self culling than the current methods.

Now, try saying that about Florida in 2000. You know, "butterfly ballots" and all.
