inadequate clarity about IRV not counting 2nd-choice votes #25

The simplest and clearest way to describe IRV's issues is how you can't get your 2nd choice (or other later choices) counted if they get eliminated before your 1st choice gets eliminated. Too much of http://www.equal.vote/srvvsirv still can be read as implying that you will move to your 2nd choice if you marked one. There needs to be an earlier section making more absolutely clear that the wrong order of IRV elimination means your 2nd choice never counts.
