When only two candidates are running in an election, I would guess that all voting systems would be equivalent, but I have seen examples in which if there are several candidates, different candidates can win depending on the voting scheme. Would we be better served with a different voting scheme in the US primaries?
For example, in one scheme, everyone might have a yes vot e and a no vote, then each candidates vote total would be the yes's minus the no's. Who do you predict would win each party's nomination given that system?
What is each person could cast a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd vote? They might all be weighted equally, or perhaps the 1st would be worth 3 points, the 2nd 2 points, and the 3rd 1 point. Who do you predict would win the nominations under this scheme?
Thank you very much for your replies!!! I am quite curious to see what people think!
