There are ways to maximize the chances of your vote making a difference
in a multi-member race.  Suppose you've decided who the candidates most
likely to be elected to board X are.   If you want to maximize the
chances that candidate A will be one of the winners, you vote only for
candidate A.  If you want to defeat candidate B, then vote for all of
the other likely winners except candidate B.  To really twist the knife,
vote also for the candidate next most likely to be a winner.

This type of practice is more interesting when coupled with proportional
representation, but it has a few uses in Minneapolis.
