Which voting method in the US do you prefer?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Vote and discuss. I'm definitely partial to option two, so that third parties can have a better shot and people can vote their conscience without "spoiling" the election. Maine seems to do this better than other states.

[Dr. MB]

Alaska since it’s the most chaotic

[Mr. Smith]

WI: Louisiana

Never heard of a specific model for Utah.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I guess the Maine method?

[Sir Mohamed]

The ME model with RCV.

That said, I most want to get rid of the Electoral College. It's an outdated method to chose the prez. Whoever gets the most votes should be elected, with no exceptions.

[Del Tachi]

WI: Louisiana

[Continential]

Alaska or Nevada.

[PSOL]

Nota, proportional with a 1% threshold

Of the options listed Alaska, allowing third-party voters and independents to participate in the primary is important. Maine's system is only marginally better than FPTP. Top Two and jungle are a mess that is easily gamed by whichever party runs the fewest candidates.

What we really need is proportional RCV. I do think Alaska's system should be expanded to other states as it allows the nuances of voter preference and ideology to be expressed but it's imperfect. It also familiarizes voters with RCV which is necessary as people work to expand it nationwide.

California but all of them are better than the status-quo.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I think my preferred system would actually be the opposite of Alaska's system: a RCV primary that whittles down the field to two candidates, then a one vs one runoff in the general. Although given the fact that turnout is so much lower in primaries, maybe it might be better to have a single RCV election.

Either way, the Maine, Alaska and CA/WA systems are all acceptable. The GA and LA systems are not, because the decisive round of voting must be held on the national election day to maximize turnout. Frankly I'm shocked that these systems are even legal.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

Other: proportional.
