DL Readers & Lurkers Presidential Instant-runoff Voting

53 Comments
The sidebar poll doesn't reveal much, so put your top three choices in the comments section and we'll run an "Instant-runoff voting" poll. (e.g. Biden, Klobuchar, Buttigieg) Ballots will be initially counted for each commenter's top choice. If a candidate has more than half of the vote based on first-choices, that candidate wins. If not, then the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. The commenters who selected the defeated candidate as a first choice will have their votes added to the totals of their next choice. This process will continue until a candidate has more than half of the votes.
