[EM] Voting system "branding" poll

[Jameson Quinn]

Oooh, very cool. Note that betterpolls.com allows you to see what other
people have used as write-ins, so that you don't duplicate ideas with slight
variations.

> IRV activists have done a good job "branding" their system. Although the
>> system was previously known as Hare voting, for its inventor, they chose a
>> short, descriptive name - IRV - and used it systematically to promote the
>> system. This is a crucial step for effective activism.
>>
>> I've created a poll for naming/branding four systems<http://betterpolls.com/do/1189>- Condorcet (Minimax); Bucklin (2+1 rank, equality-allowed); Range/Score;
>> and IRV (because, although the name "IRV" has been well-accepted, I've also
>> seen a recent proposal to call it "Greatest Majority Voting"). There's also
>> a for-interest-only option to choose your favorite systems overall. It's on
>> betterpolls.com, which can score winner via various systems. Write-ins
>> are allowed and the polling is open for the month of September; results are
>> closed until then to avoid path-dependent polling bias.
>>
>> Please vote in the poll and promote it (over email and/or social media).
>> Vote <http://betterpolls.com/do/1189>: you wouldn't want your preferred
>> system to come in last, would you?
>>
>> I personally commit to abide by any naming decisions of the poll (by
>> Range, known as "raw ratings summation" there on betterpolls), as long as
>> there are at least 25 votes and no clearly-superior write-ins (to be
>> confirmed, as necessary, in a later re-poll). I'd also help get relevant
>> URLs based on poll decisions.
