> “majoritarian failure” occurs in 95 of the 182 elections in our database. In practice, if no candidate receives an initial majority then it is very likely that no candidate ever will.
If majoritarian failure occurs and no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast it should be a failed election. Ha, it’s almost like that Libertarian trope about how voting for “none of the above” should be allowed so voters can send a message.
RCV is not really a “runoff” election, because the voters are not privy to the information about the choices available in the rounds. In a real runoff the votes are informed by the candidates available. I see this as a counter to the perception that RCV “fairly represents the voters’ intention”.
