Sometimes we take it as sufficient to have some method for reaching a decision. We take it as sufficient that we follow a well-defined procedure to follow. Perhaps that is one reason we cling to plurality voting; it is a well-defined procedure. But being well-defined is the minimum we should expect for making important decisions. That may make it seem fair, but it is insufficient for achieving good outcomes. We should demand more.

It seems that the moment is ripe for re-thinking how our government works and in particular how our elections work (or don't work). It seems apparent that we need some careful considerations about making improvements. I would hope that part of this re-thinking could include a serious consideration of balanced approval voting.
