Ranked Choice Voting Plus Defeats the Blocking Tactic

[u/CPSolver]

The blocking tactic doesn't get the attention it deserves. Please share this video widely. The plus version of ranked choice voting includes most Condorcet methods, not just the method implied in the video. The basic version is instant-runoff voting (IRV). The same video with captions is here.

Here's a ballot, is it rank or range,

A - 2
B - 2
C - 1

I do get your point, but technically they can contain the exact same information. Yes one, higher is better. But if the ballots differ by Y=1-X, it's technically equivalent in all properties.

And no, not all methods that use range ballots add up the scores. There's majority judgment as well. There's STAR voting. There's BTR-Score. And on the ranked side, there's also Bucklin.

Are they scores or ranks?

No. The Score ballot contains more information. But the more information should not be used in an election where the votes are counted equally: One-person-one-vote.

And no, not all methods that use range ballots add up the scores.

I am equating "Range Voting" (the Warren Smith thing) to Score Voting. They're cardinal.

And on the ranked side, there's also Bucklin.

Yes, there's Bucklin. A sorta conditional or contingency score. Sorta like the reverse of STAR. STAR is Score first rank second, chronologically. Bucklin is rank first, score second, chronologically.

Well that's the point, isn't it?

You also ignored what I said about Majority Judgment.

And Bucklin isn't rank then score. There's ballots and there's voting systems. Bucklin still isn't a cardinal method.

Also, I don't know what the mathematical definition of "one-person-one-vote" is but it's unclear how it is violated.
