How many times should we all get to vote and for how many candidates?
I'd say three votes in order of preferred to least preferred.
That way you can have your way to vote third party and if they are mathematically eliminated your vote goes to the one you find less objectionable.
Currently third parties are nonviable as it splits the vote of the most similar candidate and actually HURTS the side you find least objectionable.
First to a majority system is arbitrary and not in any way fair or equitable. It just produces a two-party disaster.

That would be an exciting election to follow. I bet the Dems in the big cities would love it.
It might take weeks to declare a winner, but they'd find a way to do it.

That is absurd, all these other counting systems are merely attempts to benefit special interests or save money by eliminating additional elections.
The primary thing inherently wrong with our system today is universal suffrage. Idiots, dysfunctionals, iliterates, shouldn't be encouraged to vote, and cherishing these unassimilated asswipes as something special to be valued is insane.
The cult of equality is destroying our civilization.
