INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Ranked-choice voting reduces strategic voting compared to plurality voting?

Unclear. One empirical study of New York City, Alaska and Portland elections found that complex strategic ballot-addition strategies were not more efficient than simple ones under ranked-choice voting, and a textbook chapter lists sincere-preference incentives among proponents' goals. Neither directly measures reduced strategic voting relative to plurality across the general case.
