The voter's choice candidate has been predicted beyond
all odds to lose the race to one of the major parties
candidate. Should the voter cast their vote with the
candidate they have sided with based on their judgement
of competency or should the voter vote for one of the other
candidates, the lesser of the evils so to speak, because
their candidate appears not to have a chance for winning
the election?
For example, Candidate A, Candidate B, and Candidate C
are all running for office and a voter has evaluated
Candidate A to be the most competent, but the majority
of the population has been forecasted to vote for
Candidate B and Candidate C. Considering that
Candidate A appears to be unable to win the race
should the voter vote for one of the less competent
candidates instead?
If the voter should always vote for only the "potential"
winning candidates then what implications does that
have on the opportunity for any new parties to enter
the election race?
