Rank-Choice Voting Experiment Poll

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Choose your candidates based on whom you prefer the most to least. Let's see how it turns out.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

So, based on the votes up until now, Ron Paul would have been president. More people want a guy like Ron Paul but will vote for Jeb Bush if they think Joe Biden has a chance.

Interesting.

Keep voting so we can have a clearer picture.

This does prove, at least initially, what I have always said about most Americans. When given a real choice, most people are more libertarian than authoritarian.

Ron Paul, with no 2 or 3.

I'm not so stupid as to play the evil-of-two-lessers game.

I hear you, but would your preference be represented if it's just Jeb Bush vs. Joe Biden?

I know this is probably the ONLY issue on which you and I disagree, but you've got to admit that if this scenario played out, you would not be forced to vote for Jeb Bush because Fuck Joe Biden, right?

Actually jeb bush and Joe Biden would tie in rank at 332,403,648th with Kamal Harris at 332,403,649th and Hillary Clinton at 332,403,650

See, and that would FORCE those assholes to actually be better, rather than just good enough to beat that other guy. Us vs. Them suddenly doesn't work worth a shit anymore.

I am determined to convince Oddball. It's my life mission.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

We need a larger sample to reach any sort of conclusion

Given that list of candidates, Ron Paul would have won anyway.

I would not be forced to vote for Jeb Bush because fuck Jeb Bush.

FJB....Has a nice ring to it.

Fair enough.

And, yes it does have a nice ring to it.

Just too stupid to understand what it means, or why RCV avoids the problems of the current system.

Ron Paul is 86 years old.
