BC Voters, BC Single Transferable Vote Yay or Nay by MikeCDN2006-11-19 12:55:59

      Huh? by BrainBug2005-05-16 10:48:22
        It's not that "all votes above are transferred". by williamashbless2005-05-16 11:01:12
          Depends on how you look at it... by BrainBug 2005-05-16 11:10:40
Technically you could say that in that scenario you gave your first candidate (threshold/total) of your vote and (surplus/total) to your second, summing up to 1 vote.

However, practically you achieved to get your first candidate voted in (which for practical purposes I would count as 1 vote)and on top of that help your second one as well (with a certain fraction of your vote). So IMHO for all practical purposes you had 1+fraction votes. I'd like the system much more if only the votes from the eliminated candidates were redistributed according to your ranking.

            This is, IMHO, fallacious thinking. by williamashbless2005-05-16 11:15:24
