PR-STV is a great system
It prevents the big duoblock powers from developing. (We've got three big parties, and a smattering of small ones who end up being kingmakers, ensuring bit of variety to things.) The fact that we can get through 10 counts or more in some constituencies and still have things accurately come down to a matter of ten votes, and be verifiable is also a big win for democracy. And use of paper ballots.
Somehow, I don't see a system requiring ten counts or more, vote transfers and the like ever being reliable or efficient in the US..... yecan barely get one count right.
The Electoral Collage though isn't a bad idea.... it keeps the big states from shitting on the small ones with the populutation hammer. Given the choice, it's the only thing from the States I'd like to see the EU adopt.
