Having the candidates’ delegations be in there wont really impose much cognitive overhead, humans are very sensitive to the alignments of their leaders/factions, that information is largely already in their heads and taken into account.
Have I not understood what you were referring to? Is the voter interface not where it is?
Yes, the voter interface is the main thing, and SODA is quite simple on that. But to get a reform actually enacted, you usually have to explain it more-or-less-fully to at least some nontrivial fraction of people, and SODA is hard to explain.
I don’t follow, how is that complexity a problem? I googled SODA, stumbled onto a sample ballot here: https://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/SODA_voting_(Simple_Optionally-Delegated_Approval)#Sample_Ballot it doesn’t seem like it even matters if voters fully understand the (very succinct) instructions, the thickest voters will just treat it like an approval voting system, which is pretty adequate, isn’t it?
