  • I really wish IRV advocates would stop lying about things like:

    since voters can feel free to support them without fear of inadvertently helping a candidate they definitely don’t want to win.

    There is absolutely a spoiler effect in IRV, and it isn’t just theoretical – it happened in one of the elections the article praises as successful.

    Any election system works well with only two choices. IRV improves very slightly on plurality and works well with many choices, provided only two of them matter. But as soon as you get three competitive candidates, exactly the thing many election reformers want to see, really counterintuitive things start to happen.
