The STAR people have the vibe of ‘we’re just exploring alternatives to winner take all’, but then run attack ads against the leading reform that could replace first past the post (ranked choice). Like, STAR is fine. Ultimately it’s very similar to ranked choice.

The STAR people said they had reached out to Dr. Masson but hadn’t heard back on where he got the very high number from. The Stephanoupolous paper identified only 3 out of several hundred.

One beef I have with the STAR folks is the RCVchangedalaska.com site claims that 7% of RCV elections are Condorcet failure based on an unsourced quip from Eric Maskin. This figure is significantly higher than available analysis in the literature ( See Stephanopoulos). That stat should be taken down.

RCV is already complicated enough that it’s difficult to explain to some people. I think STAR is just too complicated to ever gain acceptance.

Please, for the love of god, Joe Biden cannot be the nominee. He needs to step down and let the convention nominate somebody else.

I was at the Howard County Democratic Party debate watch party, and spirits were low. Also there was Karaoke in the other room so it was hard to hear the debate.

Did you watch the debate? Biden can’t really play President on tv anymore, Trump is still a great showman. Biden can barely get through a sentence without stumbling.

There’s a ton a small fixes to our system in politics that might improve things. I’m interested in Ranked Choice Voting as a reform.
