Don't first-preference votes count twice as well, since they're counted in the first round, and also in the second round?

- kylestlb 10y agoAny vote that makes it to another round of counting is 'counted twice', yes?
- Flimm 10y agoYes, you're correct.
- tehwalrus 10y agoThat is why the argument made me so angry at the time- unfortunately, while the UK has law making it criminal to lie about your opponent in an election[1], there is no equivalent for slandering a concept (or institution like the EU) in a referendum. [1] slander raised to a criminal offence, punished by forced resignation from the office you won by deceit, and prohibition of standing again for some years.
