> Instant Runoff Voting has legit flaws

Talking to people about what they expect "ranked choice" means, I get the idea they mean Condorcet rather than IRV...

"Ranked choice" doesn't necessarily imply a particular counting method and could describe IRV or Condorcet. I'm disappointed that all of these proposals use IRV though.

I'd love condorcet, and I'd prefer it to IRV, but I've only ever seen IRV when it comes to real proposals on ballots and implementations in governments.

I don't have access to TFA, but it's using IRV, right?
