*This is only if you wouldn't support Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump for your #1 preference* [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a5/Supplementary_Vote_ballot_paper.png/250px-Supplementary_Vote_ballot_paper.png[/img] [b]This is a follow-up to a poll I started a few days ago. I still want people to vote on that poll over at [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1530831[/url][/b] however I want to experiment with something. Given that a significant amount of people here would still vote for someone other than Clinton or Trump, I want to see how their vote would work if it could be transferred to another candidate. Assume that the contingent voting system is used (similar to instant-runoff voting). All but the top-two candidates (Clinton and Trump) are eliminated, and the votes for every other candidate are transferred, according to the preferences of each voter, to either Clinton or Trump. So who would receive your vote, after preferences are accounted for?

Where's the options for the other combinations ie Sanders -> Stein
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;50900435]Where's the options for the other combinations ie Sanders -> Stein[/QUOTE] A: Then what happens after your vote goes to Stein, and Stein is later eliminated from the count? Who would your vote go to next? Johnson? What if Johnson is later eliminated too? Would it then go to either Clinton or Trump? Also as mentioned in the OP, the scenario assumes a contingent voting system. A trait of that system is that all but the top-two candidates are eliminated, and the votes for each eliminated candidate are re-distributed, according to preferences, to the remaining two candidates. B: There can only be up to 10 poll options.
