[EM] STAR loses in Eugene, 33%-67%

> This is really sad.  Ironically, they were attacked by both the pro-RCV camp (who view it as competition) and the anti-RCV camp (who view it as a variation of RCV), I don't view it as a variation of Hare, except it *does* have two rounds, the latter with the same rules as IRV.It's that a close 3-way race can also cause STAR to fail to elect the Condorcet winner and then all of the bad IIA and Favorite Betrayal and Monotonity stuff follows.So I don't think it's necessarily better than IRV, and STAR still inherently suffers from the burden of tactical for voters whenever there are 3 or more candidates.  As with any Cardinal methods, including Approval.It should be ranked ballots and it should elect the Condorcet winner whenever such exists.>and the Eugene Weekly recommended voting No despite promoting STAR themselves several years prior. 😩 <shrug>
