Here's an open question to supporters of Instant Runoff Voting

http://zohopolls.com/brokenladder/tactical-score-voting

I expect that the results of this poll will support my belief that score voting and approval voting are better than IRV, even if we use the LOGIC of the IRV supporters themselves.

But I could be wrong. We'll see what the IRV proponents actually say.
