Would STAR voting be your preferred voting method? If so, why's that?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Most any voting system would be better than what we have, but STAR is one that accomplishes the most. Several states and local governments have adopted Ramked Choice voting, only to face pushback when people realize that they still need to be strategic with their votes or risk being uncounted. With STAR, voters can be honest about their preferences, every vote is always counted, and there is less risk of spoiled ballots because of voter error. Votes can be counted locally and tabulated later, and fraud is harder to conceal.

Here's more info on how it works and why it's better for voters:
