Ranked choice voting (RCV) — also known as instant runoff voting (IRV) — makes our elections better by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference.
RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. If your first choice doesn’t have a chance to win, your ballot counts for your next choice.
RCV works in all types of elections and supports more representative outcomes. RCV means better choices, better campaigns, and better representation.

So in approval voting, for each candidate c, their approvals A꜀ and rejections V — A꜀ are complements of all votes V, so they always sum to the same total
so whoever has the most approvals has the fewest rejections.
That’s a sound argument: upvoted.
I’m not in favor of those, either: was primarily concerned with the Condorcet winner as quoted before, which those methods also fail.
