Jill is making false statements about IRV. She says it lets you vote sincerely. Wrong. In the 2009 mayoral race in Burlington, VT, a group of Republican voters were harmed by voting sincerely. If they had insincerely ranked the Democrat in first place, then they would have gotten their second choice (the Democrat) instead of their third choice (the Progressive). The Republican was a spoiler. Score Voting and Approval Voting don't have this problem, and are simpler and produce better outcomes.
