Re:What is ranked-choice voting and why is New York using it? by elihu on Tuesday June 22, 2021 @10:42PM (#27600197)
Yeah, it's literally "elect the candidate with the highest approval rating" which seems like a fair and reasonable outcome.

(That's assuming that people vote honestly, but according to at least one analysis [1], the outcome isn't very much less democratically optimal if people vote strategically in approval voting rather than honestly.)
