¡Hello!
¿How fare you?
We require candidates to get the squareroot of the number of voters to
get on the ballot with writeins allowed. Let us look at an hypothetical
single-winnerelection:
Let us suppose that 420 people make the ballot. ¿How can the voters
vet this many candidates? Well now, we have a score of parties and a score of
independents. That is a score of candidates per party and a score of
independents. We have score-voting primaries. The voters only have to inform
themselves about a score of candidates:
We have scorevoting primaries with a range of -99 to +99 with writeins
allowed. All candidates with positive scores go to a scorevoting runoff. Then
the top 2 from scorevoting runoff goto a top-2 runoff. For our purposes,
independents are a party and have primaries.
We just reduced the number of candidates from 420 to 21, 1 from each
party and 1 independent. Then we go to the general election:
We have a scorevoting general election. All candidates with positive
sums go to a scorevoting runoff. Then the top 2 go to a top-2 runoff. Using
primaries and runoffs, we successfully vetted 420 candidates. It only took 6
elections. If we have 1 election every 2 months, we can do it all in 1 year.
¡Peace!
