Someone else I talked to is also in favor of RCV, and I agree that it has benefits (e.g. easier to use than this system), but I also think it has some downsides — e.g. I think it’s a worse exercise for voters than this system is. Btw, you might also be interested in the discussion that happened on my quick take before we decided on a voting system.
(My current top, low-resilience guess about changes we should make to the voting system, if we ran this again, is that we should remove the 3-winner restriction and that we should think about trying to get people to vote on cause/problem areas — separate from voting on charities.)
Nice, wow there was lots of engagement on this beforehand! I think I am now leaning towards abrahamrowe’s suggestion to just take the average of everyone’s distributions, possibly with some minimum threshold to avoid the hassle of disbursing small amounts of money. But so many considerations—a more complicated decision than initially meets the eye I think.
