I agree! But then wouldn’t ranked voting or a run-off minimize that?

Here’s an example. Let’s say that a true conservative is running against a true liberal. But there’s a third candidate. Maybe he’s a phony conservative. Or maybe he’s an earnest libertarian.

The phony conservative or the libertarian is going to siphon votes away from the true conservative. So the liberal is more likely to win. But ranked voting or a runoff would make that much less likely.

By the way, I’m aware that this is a two-edged sword. Instead of a phony conservative or a libertarian, the third candidate could be a far-left radical. In that case ranked voting or a runoff would hurt the conservative candidate.

I guess the bottom line, for me anyway, is that (for better or worse) the majority should get its way. Ranked voting or a runoff would help that.

That commie is trying to destroy FL each election period with another
Amended to our state constitution . A bad loop hole we have .
