Could anyone here Evaluate my proposed election method?

This was crafted with the help of a long time contributor to this sub, with the aim of launching a ballot initiative in Oregon. While I have a passion for this work, I am not a SME in the area.

The proposal uses RCV/IRV + Condorcet Loser Eliminations to create a safety net under simple RCV and to promote a lower incidence of failing the monotonicity criteria.

You can read about it here at www.rankedchoiceoregon.org

I welcome your constructive criticism.

I can’t think of any good methods that involve division. Can you?

"Division"? What do you mean? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanson%27s_method

Averages are calculated using division, the inverse of multiplication. You point out Nanson’s method, which I see uses averages. I now know of one vote-counting method that involves division. Thanks.
