I think it’s important to further refine the accuracy criterion—I think another very important criterion (particularly given today’s state of US politics) is how conducive the voting system towards consensus-building vs polarization. In other words, not only pure accuracy matters, but the direction of the error as well. That is, an error towards a more extreme candidate is IMHO a lot more harmful than an equally sized error towards a more consensus candidate.
