This Alaskan knows EXACTLY what this piece of garbage voting method will do.
It “rewards” moderates (read squishes with absolutely no principles). We are now supposed to list 4 candidates in order of preference. If there is no over 50% winner, the #4 person gets dropped and votes are divided equally among the top 3. Then if there is still no 50% winner, the 3rd person is dropped and the votes divided equally to the top 2. If there is still no clear winner, there will be a runoff.
It is pure horse crap. Our votes get split up and could be used to help a dirty, rotten, pinko, a-hole that you hate.
I Cannot stand this crap. I cannot see how this is legal in any sense of the word.
It is an utter disaster.
It prevents clear winners and losers.
In some New Zealand elections, the results are not known for weeks... oh, kind of like what happened in the last American election.
The more complicated and convoluted the system, the more it favors the Media and the Establishment.
