[EL] LA's new voting system (and ranked choice voting)

[Thomas J. Cares]

Does anyone know if this new system would better enable Ranked Choice
Voting/Instant Runoff Voting?

I would presume that it should, but for all I know maybe it would make it
even harder to potentially implement RCV in LA

*One of the most eagerly-anticipated projects in elections took another
step forward last week as Los Angeles County, CA unveiled the prototype of
the new voting system developed through its Voting System Assessment
Project (VSAP). The LA Times has more

Disclosure: I am a new member of the VSAP but I missed the unveiling of the
prototype last week when I was travelling.
