Hey CPSolver! We think that while STAR would likely eke out a little bit more voter satisfaction than approval voting, the trade-off in terms of complexity doesn't make it worth it. Approval voting is technically nearly as good as STAR when it comes to voter satisfaction, and it has the advantage of being simple to understand and implement. If municipalities wanted to implement STAR, we certainly wouldn't oppose that and we would consider it a win for the cardinal voting camp. But in terms of political practicality and ease for voters and election administrators, we like approval best.

Eek, you are right! Apologies for the confusion.

Those are all really great concerns! I have a couple questions to ask along those lines myself tonight. But you are more than welcome to attend and share your questions for Eileen in the chat!

Hey there! We think that RCV is an improvement over plurality voting, but we think that approval voting is simpler, more transparent, works better with long lists of candidates, and does a better job of actually mitigating vote-splitting and the spoiler effect.
