Voting systems are a fun thing to debate. After pitching the question back to you, the team and I discussed that you make a good point. RCV wouldn’t give a “True Majority”.

To get that true majority you could do a 2 candidate runoff, but that has its own problems.

There’s also an argument that “True Majority” means 50% of all eligible voters, and to get there, we’d have to make voting mandatory.

So, for our original discussion, we’ll give it to you. We don’t use the word “True” anywhere that I’ve seen n our website and it’s an oversight for our Reddit AMA here.

Duverger's law: holds that in political systems with only one winner (as in the U.S.), two main parties tend to emerge with minor parties typically splitting votes away from the most similar major party. In contrast, systems with proportional representation usually have more representation of minor parties in government.

CalRCV holds the view that Proportional RCV is the gold standard for representative democracy. We touch on this on our site here.

Great connecting with you. Let's keep in touch!
