A look at the feasibility of counting a ranked-choice election

A casual, unscripted video looking at how counting an election conducted with a ranked-choice method (either instant runoff or Condorcet) could feasibly be tabulated, even in a population as large as the United States. I suggest you watch this video at a faster speed because I ramble a lot off script.


Corrections:
None that I am aware of. If you notice something, let me know!
