There has been a proposal for not using replies for voting.
This is cleaner and doesn’t expose everyone’s votes to anyone reading the thread.
I have a notion of how this would look, so I’m creating this discussion and the replies for each option as an example. Please discuss or upvote any of the options I wrote below, and we can all see how this would look.
Should registration of this instance be:
Why would my way of counting the approval ratio rather than approval-only be of any disadvantage?
That’s just how voting systems work. Even seemingly insignificant changes to the algorithm can have outsized impacts on how well it performs.
Plurality versus Approval is a specific example of this. Just changing “choose one” to “choose as many as you approve of” significantly impacts the amount of data that’s captured and often the outcome because of the effects on voters’ behaviors.
I liked the suggestion of more information. When we have it all figured out those details should be included as you suggested.
Thanks for the recognition!
It is all true that different ways of evaluation will lead to different results. That can be understood though, and i think that i can wrap my mind around the maths of it (yet perhaps not everyone could, no offence intended). Some ways are more appropriate in certain context, some are inherently unfair, etc. – My suggestion should have been meant towards more accuracy …
But maybe let’s forget about this entirely, and look here: Ranked Choice Voting https://sh.itjust.works/post/311690
RCV/IRV has been a scam for more than a century. Please look into how that was invented and how it actually performed. More than half the places that tried it actually removed it.
I don’t know why people keep being fooled by complexity, but they do.
… aha … now slowly i get some dissonance. You just advertised a system that doesn’t count dissenting votes, therefore making it impossible to find the real acceptance of some choice. I may look into how Ranked Choice was “invented” (hey, anyone could come up with such a thing). But please stop to belittle people just because you seem to not grasp some modest complexity.
I can see for example, that not being able to rank options equally, will give an advantage to that which is listed first on the ballot. That is easy to see for me. My mind makes pictures.
