I don't think using ignorant Americans as a policy standard is going to achieve anything.
Well, a lot of them don't really understand the current system either.
What is important is how are you, as a voter, gonna vote for the person you want to win. In the end, it's either choose one or rank them from top to bottom.
What could be the problem is tallying several million individual votes, let alone putting them into a computer. I wonder what the algorithmic complexity is for this system.
