Greetings!
I've been interested in electoral reform and alternative voting
systems since 1990, when I did a paper for one of my classes in grad
school.
I became intensely interested in the topic after the Presidential
election. I promptly joined the CVD, which seemed to be the only
voice out there advocating for an alternative voting system.
I quickly learned that the CVD wasn't really interested in the BEST
alternative voting system., but merely in promoting their chosen
system-IRV-often with dishonest arguments, and a cone of silence
regarding other systems-such as approval voting, which I had come in
contact with even earlier than my grad school work. In one of my poli
sci courses in college, we were assigned "The Presidential Election
Game" by Steven J. Brams, the last chapter of which explores AV in
depth.
I currently tend to favor AV,
