Would you support this voting system?

Question

I just came up with a new voting system proposal. It consists of the following: voters would receive a ballot with the list of all the runoffs. A voter then must vote for 1 candidate in each runoff. Third party and major party voters would be treated the same since they both have to vote strategically in runoffs where a candidate from either a third party or major party isn't there. The winner would be the candidate that either wins every runoff or the one with the most points. Allocating points could be 3 points for a runoff victory and 1 for a runoff tie (just like in soccer). Should there be a tie between 2 candidates, the result of the runoff is considered. If the runoff was a tie, a ballot will be chosen at random to determine the winner. What do you guys think?

The main reason I thought about this idea was because both major party voters and third party voters would be in the same situation. At least, I thought that was the main problem.

Answer 1

How about this voting system:

All eligible candidates are listed, and you pick one.

The one with the most votes wins.

Or, you take the top two and have a second election with just those two on there.

Answer 2

In the event of a tie, why not see which candidate can score the most goals out of 5 tries?

Answer 3

So basically you want to create a more complicated and convoluted system that does not address or resolve any of the problems in a normal election system? Sounds like a good plan.

Answer 4

I will give you a star for your concern, but i am sure the voting will not change...if it did how could it be fixed so the man less qualified, less liked, and with the most to gain win.

Answer 5

Sounds like you're running off at the mouth.
