    @nealmcb

    I put up the first web site about Approval Voting back around 1995.
    I served on the board of the Center for Election Science from 2016 to 2019.
    I'm active with the League of Women Voters of Boulder County and their Voting Methods team, which spearheaded adoption of a great voting method reform position in Colorado, and improved the one adopted by the LWVUS.

    • RE: Pathological Scenarios for the New York Mayoral Election

      I'm surprised and sad that it seems really hard to get the actual round-by-round IRV results, and I haven't found anyone reporting them in a reasonable format. The best I've found is the official site, which has a separate page for each round and no calculations on shifts for each eliminated candidate:

      BOARD OF ELECTIONS IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK - 2021 Primary UNOFFICIAL RANKED CHOICE ROUNDS

      • Is there a better visualization anywhere?
      • Anywhere with a detailed comparison of results from each release of the data?
      • Any hope for CVRs so we can report this properly?

    • RE: Utah votes down RCV, citing monotonicity and not wanting to go with a stepping stone reform and then have to change again.

      The situation in Utah with their "Alternative Voting Methods Pilot Project" is awfully confusing. Some municipalities (but not all the ones in the pilot, but it isn't clear which ones) are using a primary, like Payson and Vineyard did two years ago. Of course RCV is meant to avoid the need for primaries, but go figure.
      Worse, those two cities did NOT do IRV, since there were two winners in the primary. And they did NOT do STV, which would have been proportional and thus would have made some sense, They did an awful method that has had many names and many detractors, e.g. Sequential IRV, Multi-Pass IRV, Sequential AT-Large IRV, or Block Preferential Voting .
      Note that voters who picked the first winner first, get to vote a second time for the next winner, so I dare say it is anti-proportional, though I haven't seen a proper analysis.

    • RE: Multiwinner vs. Single-winner

      Yes, please split it! I had the same thought.
