Instant runoff only uses one ballot... I agree that condorcet is a better method, but the advantage of instant runoff is that the average person can understand it. I don't think the general public will ever be OK with an election decided by a spreadsheet they don't understand. Can you imagine a Florida 2000 like situation with a majority rule cycle?KBCraig wrote:Condorcet is faster and easier - voters only have to cast one ballot.
Even an approval ballot would be better then what we have now.
