Re: Condorcet Voting Method

I really doubt that there would ever be a situation where it would be important to rank my relative preference for the Constitution Party, the Reform Party, the Greens, the Free Soil Party, and the Legalize Marijuana Now Party.

If this system were in use in 2000 i guarentee Gore would have won the election. All the Nader voters could have selected Gore with their second (or any choice above Bush) choice propelling him ahead of Bush in the head to head match up in Florida. This system is great because it would no longer punish people for voting for a 3rd party by harming their preferred major party. It would strike a serious blow against the "lesser of two evils" philosophy that I beleive is largely responsible for the simultaneous shittiness and predominance of the two major parties.
