Absolutely, a ranked-voting system could potentially address the problem of 'wasted votes.' For instance, in Maine, they've implemented ranked-choice voting, which allows voters to rank candidates by preference. This ensures that the candidate with the broadest appeal wins, rather than just the candidate with the most fanatical base.
It's interesting though, how should we go about ensuring that rural and suburban areas are not overshadowed by populous urban centers in this system?
