摘要

从社会选择理论的角度来看，排序选择投票(RCV)存在许多缺陷。例如，RCV可能无法选出孔多塞获胜者，并且容易受到单调性悖论和剧透效应的影响。我们使用了2004-2022年间182个美国政治职位排名选择选举的数据库，实证地调查了RCV缺陷在实践中表现出来的频率。我们的总体发现是，RCV的弱点在现实世界的选举中很少被观察到，除了选票耗尽经常导致多数主义失败。

An Examination of Ranked-Choice Voting in the United States, 2004–2022

From the perspective of social choice theory, ranked-choice voting (RCV) is known to have many flaws. RCV can fail to elect a Condorcet winner and is susceptible to monotonicity paradoxes and the spoiler effect, for example. We use a database of 182 American ranked-choice elections for political office from the years 2004-2022 to investigate empirically how frequently RCV's deficiencies manifest in practice. Our general finding is that RCV's weaknesses are rarely observed in real-world elections, with the exception that ballot exhaustion frequently causes majoritarian failures.

期刊介绍： This change in scope follows two paths. Firstly, it seeks contributors who are interested in exploring the interface between democratic practice and theory. In particular, this focus seeks contributions that apply theoretical insights to actual examples of current practice. Secondly, while not neglecting the current focus of the journal, we would like to expand its international coverage so that the journal will offer our readers insights in the state of democracy worldwide.
