Preferential voting is the only way your proposal could work in any real way. 25%+1 as a possible Presidential winner is atrocious.

Ya my suggestion is rank choice voting to improve democracy added to the list of the 5 you wrote about the other day.

Better yet, allocate 100 points across the candidates. Forced ranking doesn’t account for trade offs and ties

Would require people to know more about all candidates rather than just voting party lines. It's a way to give 3rd 4th parties more voice.
