PBS: Ranked voting in Maine a go for presidential election

 

"...Maine’s presidential ballot will feature five names, including Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

Under the voting system, voters are allowed to rank all five candidates on the ballot. If no one wins a majority of first-place votes [greater than 50%], then there are additional tabulations, aided by computers, in which last-place finishers are eliminated and votes reallocated based on those supporters’ second-place choices".

yeah, put other conservatives on the ballot to diffuse the conservative vote,

with only one demented, senile, corrupt, serially dishonest bragger of fake claims...

that won't diffuse the demented, senile, corrupt, serially dishonest bragger of fake claims vote.

of course they would.

If we had more than a two party system this would make sense
