A quick definition of instant-runoff voting:

Instant-runoff voting is a way of voting where people rank their choices instead of just picking one. It's like having a second round of voting without actually having to vote again. The person with the most votes after all the rankings are counted wins. It's also called IRV or Hare-Ware voting.

A more thorough explanation:

Instant-runoff voting is a type of voting system where voters rank candidates in order of preference. Instead of having a second round of voting, the system uses each voter's ranked preferences to determine the winner.

For example, in an election with three candidates, a voter might rank them as follows: Candidate A (first choice), Candidate B (second choice), and Candidate C (third choice). If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on the voters' second-choice preferences. This process continues until one candidate receives a majority of the votes.

Instant-runoff voting is also known as Hare-Ware voting or the West Australian plan.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
