[Lnc-business] Judicial Committee

[Ken Moellman]

Everyone I've talked to about Approval Voting since the convention has
been quite negative on it. You're literally the first person to defend
it, Caryn. :) 

Somewhere between the "don't understand it" and "too easy to game it",
and compounded with "ridiculous time to tabulate", Approval Voting is
not a good methodology. 

I'd personally recommend using IRV for all non-presidential/vp votes.
One round, and we can get on with it. And the committee gets filled in
appropriately. LPKY does this and it works like a champ. 

It's an issue for the Bylaws Committee to consider, anyway.
