@albnelson some people just don't get it.

@weilawei@mastodon.online @Lightfighter this article is problematic. The main point is that RCV with no primary, plus the ballot system, will mean only the richest can participate.

In this large article though there's only one specific way I see that indicates this limits elections to the richest: the cost of gathering signatures. Then only one data point is given.

That data point is from an article where it is the only example, and it's for only one candidate in one small election. The article suggested she needed only 8000 signatures to get on her ballot... So it's a very different situation than the full state election situation.

But also - the example is from a Republican in a past election. The example is how the system works today. That means - this, "elections are for the richest" argument holds true without RCV too.

The difference then is that with the proposed system election is not as limited to the two parties.

The article briefly cites some other issues - voter confusion mainly. This is often trotted out as an issue, but folks have no problem rank ordering their favorite ice cream and other things. Voters in places with RCV doesn't seem to be completely confused - once they use it.

@Stovetop @rikudou ah, you're so right man. That's a great insight there at the end. I'm 39 and have two young kids and most of the time just want them to learn and have fun. You're right - sometimes the game is me just staying out of their fun with others.

@apzpins @suetanvil did you ever check out a Linux for Dummies book at the library to borrow the CD in the back? Good times.

@cstanhope nice reference though!

I had a little Tetris action in my #Wordle 1,059 this morning.

My talk about the NICE Cyber Career Ambassador program is picked up for #BSides SATX! It's a pretty fun little conference in San Antonio.

Wordle 1,037 - today's solve rate is about 70%, that's one of the lowest I've ever seen.
