I usually ignore the misinformation, but this one is direct from Forbes, and not just that but direct from Steve Forbes himself, and the directness of the lies are direct enough to be worth noting. A little bit.

    That’s a good point. I often see ranked choice being misrepresented (in the USA) by confusing the terminology and semantics like this, so I was just trying to emphasize the difference. But your explanation also makes sense and is accurate description of ranked choice as I understand it.

      Yeah I was probably being a little extreme by starting that comment with “nonsense”. But yeah we use IRV for most of our elections here in Australia, and it’s very routine to talk about which candidate received which votes.
