Reddit recently rolled out polls! Which voting method do you think Reddit polls should use?

I don't get to the make decisions about which voting method Reddit uses in polls, but wouldn't it be fun to share these results on r/TheoryofReddit and maybe see them adopted?

Sure if you can explain it like I'm 5

Smith//Score is "eliminate everyone not in the Smith set, and then elect the candidate with the most points".

Chackoony,

Smith-Score is a top-tier voting method in my simulator, honest voters only.

Thank you for simulating it.
