    We should have to vote by preference. If we have four candidates, we have to rank all of them according to preference.

        Yes please. If not already familiar, look up: ranked-choice voting, or instant-runoff voting. Some states/countries do this; wish more did.

        Doesn't address Presidential election, but we can choose ranked-choice for Congress NOW with the #FairRepAct:http://www.fairvote.org/fair_rep_in_congress#why_rcv_for_congress …

        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.

        Could have voted for Jill Stein, then Hillary, Evan McMullin, Gary Johnston, then Trump. Protest votes would no longer be throwaways

        I like this, the parties are lame at this point. The closest thing is voting independent, but that has drawbacks as well

        There's a lot going on under the surface with new voting methods. Before deciding what to push for, I recommend reading Gaming the Vote.

        Ultimately, it finds ranked-choice (aka instant runoff) to be the worst of the alternatives (after plurality, of course).
