Lost in all this, Maine does something historic

English please

yea there was a thread about it earlier

But lets not forget, on election night Maine clearly debunked the theory of Northeast, winds of change, Angus beef, needing their own wall, and Canadian migration

Say this last election you wanted to vote for Johnson but worried that Clinton would win. In the current system you don't vote for who you want for fear of the spoiler effect.

So, now Maine could vote like this:

1. Johnson
2. Stein
3. Vermin Supreme
4. Trump

As each person is mathematically eliminated, your vote goes to your next choice. You can vote for who you want, but your vote doesn't end up being a spoiler in favor of the person you wanted least.

That's actually pretty cool... I think.

Maine now has ranked voting, instead of first past the post.

I've never thought of that. Mainly because I have no fricking idea what it means.

I like it

1) Trump
