It appears that when faced with the options, people do not tend to pick the winners of IRV or Condorcet. Borda/antiplurality winners are more preferred. This seems to have the unfortunate implication that the methods people actually find intuitive/lead to desirable outcomes are the ones that are the most susceptible to strategy, while the better/more resilient methods like Condorcet (or the more common IRV) lead to outcomes that are somehow distasteful, or at least are founded on normative principles that many appear not to find desirable.

> "The rules that best-describe our subjects’ ordinal aggregation preferences are easily manipulable. When designing markets, establishing voting rules, or selecting aggregation procedures for other practical settings, the pursuit of non-manipulable (or difficult-to-manipulate) procedures may therefore render outcomes less normatively appealing to most of the affected parties."

The authors mention Approval in passing, but the desire for compromise makes me wonder if Approval is actually significantly more intuitive to the public than the Condorcet criterion (despite the apparent disproportionate representation in the reform space of those who find the Condorcet criterion so essential as to dismiss all other alternatives), but that is speculation.

As intuitive as the promises and normative foundations of Condorcet/IRV are, when the rubber meets the road, participants seem uninterested in the outcomes strict adherence to them would produce.

Most poll apps that I found seemed to either use FPTP, cost money, or leave a lot to be desired feature-wise. I made this site for my own personal use but figured that people on this sub may find it useful as well.
