In Canada we have elections Canada who runs the elections, people vote the same way no matter where they live. How come the US does not create consistency in how people vote? Also, we just had municipal elections and I was not registered on the voting list ... I went to the polling station, showed my drivers licence, voted and was gone in less than 5 minutes...Give Peas A Chance…0

In the Maine congressional, each voter ranks their selection of candidates. If no one gets 50%+1 voter, the top two candidates receive the #2 ranked votes on the ballots where the top two weren't number one. Then they move on to number 3 and so on until someone gets over 50%. So it matters who you rank #2. The Democratic candidate won the election this week based on the number of #2 votes he received, because no one won 50% in the straight ballot.
In the Mississippi Senate, they have to do a run off with the top 2 because no one got 50% in the direct. That's next week I think. So yeah, there are some unique systems in place, based on the formation of the original gov't.0 -

The process has already started in Maine.

I like the idea of third party candidates having a second choice in case there is not a clear winner with over 50% of the vote. I hate to see someone lose by 1,000 votes when there are 20,000 votes that are just thrown away. It would solve the problem of people wanting to run as a third party and the desire for people to vote for people that are not in 'the two party system'. People get to vote their conscious and then have a second choice when that person, most times, loses.
It's a more structured version of caucuses.Post edited by njnancy on0 -
