Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Outline and differentiate the two alternative voting systems. Preference voting involves ranking multiple choices; approval voting involves voting for multiple choices rather than one.
2, Describe the plurality voting system and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of supplementing it with alternative voting rules.
3, Illustrate answer with examples (e.g., San Francisco voting system) and assess the impact of such rules at the national level.
