From @MathIntee, an explanation of #ProportionalRepresentation, one of the key electoral systems to know about when discussing #ElectoralReform internationally.

From @MathIntee, a discussion of the Condorcet method.
Or rather, the Condorcet methods, plural.

TRADE OFFER:
You get: Better Representation
You give: literally just a majority vote in Congress is all it takes please

To comment on how this extends within a #VotingTheory context, a #BordaCount strategy generalizes as "spread the viable candidates as much as possible and then fill in the gaps with the non-viable candidates."

It's official: Ann Arbor voted YES for Ranked Choice Voting! We want to give a HUGE thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers and donors who knocked on doors, made calls, and did everything in their power to improve Ann Arbor's election system. We’re going to keep going!

A lot of people are tweeting about #ApprovalVoting and #RankedChoiceVoting at @AndrewYang tonight.
I'm a voting theorist. Did a doctorate in the area of mathematics of voting. Brief thread with some explainer articles about the US context and voting systems.

Strictly speaking, this is contestable in that it depends on the specific political alignment in recent elections.
In a priori terms, it is not unusual for it to be the largest of the 3 EV states (e.g., Montana last cycle, and Delaware next cycle unless the House is expanded).

This is a nuanced critique of 1-winner RCV, that would apply to other reformed voting methods, too. I'd summarize it as: "encouraging more candidates can be a bad thing, too; voters check out, and so a majority-opposed candidate can win". Here's a 🧵 of my thoughts:
New Yorkers used ranked-choice voting last month. Did it eliminate spoilers, as promised?
No - RCV doesn't "solve" spoilers, and some pro-RCV narratives may actually make spoilers more likely.

That title should say "other than plurality voting," rather than "other than winner-take-all."
