So its the voter system where you are given, say, 5 "votes" and if you felt like it you could just use all 5 on one candidate, or 3 on one and 2 on your second favorite? I must admit that one does sound compelling. There is the matter of the electoral college though. Does or will your state operate such that instead of "winner take all" electorally, it divides up all state's votes so that an equivalent number of electors get voted in for each candidate? That's another big problem our country needs to solve, but if all the states can adopt such a rule, it would at least defeat the electoral college's ability to spoil modern elections.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
