[EM] Countering FairVote propaganda on Wikipedia

[Closed Limelike Curves]

If y'all want to understand why FairVote has been so successful, the most
widely-read Wikipedia pages on voting systems+theory are all extremely soft
on IRV/Hare for a system with so many pathologies.

   1. "Comparison of electoral systems" is a complete mess. ~0 help to
   anyone who wants to understand which systems are better or worse.
   2. Tables, charts, etc. provide information overload with tons of
   columns but ~0 information on how common these failures are. Most people
   would think twice about Hare if they knew it has *even* *more*
   pathologies than FPP (under impartial culture, when counting monotonicity
   and participation failures).
   3. The "Criticism" section under IRV has zero criticism except from
   right-wing nutjobs saying it's a way to rig elections. None of the major
   problems with IRV (monotonicity, frequent spoiler effects) are mentioned in
   the lead at all.
