    But ranked choice is easy to implement and in practice if everyone would put a candidate second they aren’t likely to be knocked out in the first round. There are very limited practical examples where it doesn’t provide the optimal outcome.

    It also seems to have some level of support and momentum in the US and it seems to me like it’d be better not to get caught in the weeds fighting over which new voting system should be implemented there.

      Approval is trivial.

      Ranked Pairs has the same ballots as Ranked Choice and it works the way people think ranked ballots work.

      RCV has momentum primarily because people keep using the name to mean “ranked ballots.”
