<p>I gather that "Instant Runoff Voting" was originally a
promotional name in the US that after being used for a long time
was changed (for some reason I forget) to Ranked Choice Voting.<br>
<br>
So I don't see the name change as negative, unless it results in
more people reading the horrible pompous hatchet-job of an
article.<br>
<br>
I now like to refer to the method as simply "Hare". I rate it
as much better than FPP, Approval, Score, Bucklin, "STAR
Voting", and some of the relatively bad Condorcet methods (such
as Min-Max Margins).<br>

<div>Those of us who pay attention to voting related
articles on Wikipedia recently noticed this:</div>
<div><a

<div>It would seem that Closed Limelike Curves made an
executive decision to rename the "Instant-runoff
voting" article to "Ranked-choice voting". As I've
said in at least one conversation: this isn't a hill
that I'm going to die on. That said, based on a
recent conversation I'm thinking of, there's at least
one person that IS willing to die on the hill.</div>
