No more need for those pesky run off elections

11.1 Introduction Ranked choice voting (RCV) allows voters to rank their candidates in order of preference from first to last ranking, which is different compared to traditional forms of voting where the voter can only express equal preference for one or more candidates by marking their voting box. This additional information that the ranking provides can be processed using different ways to declare one or more winner in a way to ensure elected candidates receive a majority of the vote. What most of these methods have in common is that they process the results in rounds. In the initial round only the first ranked candidates are evaluated, if any candidate achieves the majority of the votes these are elected. Otherwise, another round starts and candidates with the lowest amount of votes are eliminated. Those ballots get redistributed according to their subsequent rankings, and votes are evaluated to determine winners. This process avoids the need to do run-off elections, while still ensuring candidates receive a majority of the vote. There are various forms of RCV supported in EMS and each variation has a number of settings which are managed through Ranked Profiles.

And as a programmer, I can appreciate the result tallies being decimal data types. What the fuck.

My favorite line....Election results (including the scanned ballot images and log files) are stored on the compact flash memory cards and can be stored on local file system or on the NAS. Each file type (result files, ballot images and log files) may be imported together or separately. This allows for the flexible management of results after the election occurs.

she was pulling the libertarian party in the right direction for a long time, but ultimately, the open border anarchists won.
