But also more centrists (e.g., Bloomberg). Since the centrists are closer to the median voter, they will defeat the extremists.\n\nThe evidence I have seen suggests that RCV increases turn-out. [But it’s important that voters be given the choice to rank as many or few candidates as they like, so that a voter always has the option of voting for a single candidate (in effect, he would be ranking all other candidates as tied for second). In practice, most voters choose to rank two or three candidates, but a significant fraction just rank one]"}, {"sender": "LHS", "recipients": ["Maskin, Eric <maskin@harvard.edu>"], "timestamp": "Tuesday, September 11, 2018 10:23 PM", "subject": "Re: This morning", "body": "Are there empirical studies on turnout."}, {"sender": "Maskin, Eric", "recipients": ["LHS"], "timestamp": "September 11, 2018 at 10:24:21 PM EDT", "subject": "RE: This morning", "body": "I believe there are, but don’t know how careful they are.
