1. If you list various benefits of Ranked-Choice Voting and then sort them according to social value, where do your two value-statements fall? A: allow 3rd party a better chance of winning B: not allow a 3rd party to make "a big difference in the total" 2. Your simulation hides details about choice profiles for those votes in the first reallocated group; details for next stage are also not shown. 3. Clarify what ideas you hope a user of your simulation will learn, then identify what written info or interaction will be useful for each idea.
