Ugh. Plurality voting. I built an election web service to fix this kind of thing: http://github.com/bradbeattie/Election-Web-Service http://github.com/bradbeattie/Election-Web-Service.
- almost 17y agoIt's a web poll, hardly the most accurate or fair system anyway. It's also a poll about the career choice of the next Barbie doll, hardly earth shatteringly important (although I am glad to see the choices their considering). What do you think would be the real benefit here of using something other than the simple system that everyone understands?
- bradbeattie 17y agoConsider the following hypothetical: 33% vote for computer engineer, 33% vote for software developer, and 34% vote for international spy. But yeah, I agree that those aren't the options presented and it doesn't matter too much in this case. The only real concern I have here is that it reinforces the notion that voting is equivalent to selecting a single candidate.
