Thanks for creating this page, [[User:Masiarek]]! I have plenty of nitpicks to make (since my preference is for articles that can easily be copied over to English Wikipedia by a motivated individual, and English Wikipedia has many nitpickers, including myself). However, it's clear that "exhausted ballots" are a topic that is not well understood, and needs to be understood by people promoting ''any'' voting method based on [[Single Transferable Vote]] (including [[Ranked Choice Voting]]). You'll notice that I unilaterally renamed the page already (from "[[Exhausted Choices]] to [[Exhausted choices]]) which is explained more at [[Electowiki:The_electowiki_handbook#Style]]. I'll probably make some other unilateral changes to the article pripr to making more comments here (but please drop a note on my talk page at "[[User_talk:RobLa]] if it looks like I'm changing things too quickly). -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 23:13, 25 February 2023 (UTC) |

Hi User: RobLa - pls join the party - pls make changes - it is more fun when editing together.
or, let me know how to approach the topic.
what headers to use? what topics to cover? what questions to answer? is it only RCV problem how to present a neutral point of view vs proponents vs critics. does it make sense to show a numerical example
