Compare with the RCV question, which didn't define RCV (that is probably impossible in a single sentence...)
Here is a reasonable try.
Everyone lists candidates in the order that they like them, then candidates get knocked out one by one with votes always being for the remaining candidate that the voter liked best.
Don't ask me to explain any Condorcet method in one sentence though. :-)
- lsllc 6y agoSo my example to friends & family was if you wanted to vote Green but didn't want to "spoil" the vote for Biden, you could vote for Howie Hawkins as #1, then Biden as #2. If Howie didn't win, then your vote for Biden would be counted. The usual response is "ahhh ... that's cool". The problem in US politics is that it's polarizing (by design?) and always boils down to either voting for the least-worst candidate (rather than the candidate you actually like), or voting for someone you hate simply because there's a key issue that aligns with your thinking.
