Approval or STAR voting, since they are more heavily utilized by all citizens instead of just white people, they are purely additive unlike ranked, which allows for easy auditing and making sharing the results possible in real time.
They're also far easier to explain, which makes voting more inclusive, and the results more straightforward to follow.
RCV is definitely better than what we have now, but if we're gonna have election reform we should go for the best possible system, not a half measure like RCV.
Don't know those systems so you could be right?
Definitely take a look, it's actually pretty interesting.
