The republican was the most downvoted. This is how we get a libertarian party to win. I ran condorset polls (a different kind of ranked election) that put the libertarian candidate in the lead for 2016.
Ranked voting should be the future. Not using it allows party establishment to run their pick and be guaranteed a 50% chance of winning no matter who they pick. It enables corruption.
If you change the mode of elections for the better you are still going to loose some elections. You always will. Don't shit on an improvement because by chance you happen to have lost the first one.

So, one man, one vote.
No longer applies.
This is not an improvement.

First it is one man one vote, still. That vote just conveys more useful information.
Second democracy sucks anyway. This removes some of its problems.
