I know we technically have more than two choices, but what would need to change for it to simply be 1) person A, 2) person B, or 3) throwaway vote.
And maybe there are multiple avenues?
In: Other
A 2-round system would already give a bigger chance to third parties.
In the 1st round voters choose between all candidates.
If none of the candidates get over 50% of the vote, then a 2nd round is held.
In the 2nd round voters choose between the 2 main candidates. The one who gets more votes wins.
In this scenario, im 2020, Bernie Sanders could’ve run as independent. Either he or Biden would’ve passed to the 2nd round against Trump. One of them would’ve won. You’d have a third candidate without obliterating the chance of Trump losing.
