ACCEPTABILITY BALLOTING
Instead of complicated proportional voting systems, maybe we should
have Acceptability votes. The voter would simply
mark his or her ballots with a computer
readable mark after all the names and/or political affiliations
acceptable to him or her. The highest automated tally would win.
There might also be a rule that a declared winner must be
acceptable to 50 percent plus one of voters to represent the
community. If nobody scores that high there would have
to be a runoff vote for the top two or three in a day at
a later date.
