Re: Re: [RFC] Abolish 50%+1 Votes

I'm putting this forward because I worry the group might paint themselves into a corner by requiring all issues require a super majority, because that's going to fall apart when there are three or more possibilities. The methods can be combined, using ranked choice to determine which option will be put up against the status quo, then a super majority vote to determine if that option will be chosen over the status quo.

This is a fair point. There's also some types of vote (deciding between two ways to implement something which is decided as happening) for which a 2/3 majority doesn't make sense, because it biases it in favour of one outcome. -- Andrea Faulds https://ajf.me/
