They should do approval voting instead. You can vote for all the candidates you approve of. So for instance, if you were a liberal voter and were voting in a race with a Democrat, Republican, and Green candidate, you could vote for both the Democrat and the Green. It eliminates the wasted vote concern and isn’t the complicated mess NYC had to deal with.
Also partisan. Egyptian God likes this one:

I don’t like Approval Voting because there may be one candidate I am wildly in favor of, and another that I barely support, and Approval Voting doesn’t let me communicate the gradation in my feelings.
Approval Voting has been used at Libertarian conventions in recent years and has resulted in long delays in vote counts and some positions not being filled because they ran out of time.
Aaron Lewis was the former lead singer of Staind.
Great songs Josh.
Condorcet with APPV tiebreaker-
vote 1/2/3/etc. AND YES/NO — NO is default.

I agree with Richard Winger about Approval Voting. Ranked Choice Voting is better.
True, approval voting is not that great. It’s easy for no one to be approved and new candidates to have to be recruited in additional rounds, too.
majority or non-majority approval.
For those of who aren’t familiar, this is Aaron Lewis’s band Staind:

Staind has been pretty sporadically touring and hasn’t put out an album since 2011…
…but Aaron Lewis has been much more active as a solo country music artist since then.

He has a lot of other good ones if you click on the channel. The channel name can’t be posted here because his last name happens to be the same as one of the colors that can’t be mentioned in the comments on this blog. I’ve also noticed that you can’t spell dawg with an o here. How about cat?
Probably because of the story about criminal petitioners killing, mutilating, and eating a canine named Heidi.
