EDIT 2 Ranked Pairs most certainly does not use a ratings balotThen why does the ballot in the first link you sent on Ranked Pairs a few comments back show two candidates with the same rating of 2 ? Though I don ' t honestly really care all that much , because as I said , I haven ' t heard it discussed seriously in the news so it appears it ' s not even close to being considered . There are innumerable interesting voting systems that have no chance in this electoral reform push this year . <| sep |> It ' s just at which point you stop comparing , population wise you could make that comparison , but mostly everything else you couldn ' t compare like that . I guess it is hard to imagine it not being like that for some as the US as a single country has only slightly less people then the EU combined .
