Talk:Spoiler effect

How do you mitigate the spoiler effect in IRV when the runner-up causes it? I offer an improved version of IRV, user:RalphInOttawa/Standard Vote, that does not let spoilers ruin an election. Voters should never have to accept real life results like the 2009 Burlington Mayoral Election and the 2022 Alaska’s at-large congressional district special election. These results may not be grounds for legal challenges but they should be cause for concern.
