is a fake problem - If you can pass a driving test you can fill out a ranked choice ballot. I’ve never seen the (x is too hard average joe to understand) argument made in good faith on voting.
Fair. Common criticism but often its still not a major problem. Electronic voting machines can throw an error message for an improper ballots as well.
This is probably the best real criticism of RCV.
Weird outcomes tend to happen the more candidates are involved. Realistically the top 4 jungle primary system used by alaska is quite good though and 4 candidates are unlikely to have weird outcomes except where one bloc has 1 candidate and a second large voting bloc has 3

“weird shit” would be everyone getting their second or 3rd choice because they weren’t as polarising, which would fix a bunch of problems.
Unless they don’t because the results for irv is chaotic and it tends to elect extremely candidates.
I’d prefer Approval over RCV or score, but anything is better than FPTP.
