gollark: The Thought Police ~~would like to~~ know your location.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: It seems like score voting (or approval I guess, easiest change) would be the best system for voting. But there are a lot of annoying tradeoffs and weird issues. Also Arrow's theorem, but IIRC that only affects ranked ones.

gollark: Um.
