Integration with Existing Infrastructure
-
I was discussing voting systems with a friend, and he was curious about how alternative voting systems would integrate into existing infrastructure such as districting and the electoral college.
This seems like it could be a ground-up, potentially idiosyncratic thing, but we have seen adoptions in certain states of alternative systems and they have obviously integrated into a national level system. My curiosity is about the logistics of this on a larger scale, and if there is a clear roadmap that offers generality of scope for other states to follow suit.
I’m wondering if people have more knowledge on this subject, and if they would be willing to share or collect resources here for others to investigate. I’ll probably look into this myself. I’m also opening a subject about historical examples of alternative systems, please chime in with any thoughts or considerations!
