	Instant Runoff Voting: Majority Rule, Maximum Choice
		If no candidate obtains a majority of first-place votes, then the last-place candidate is defeated, and, just as if there were a run-off election, the ballots for that candidate are transferred to the next candidate listed on these ballots.
		Jackson supporters on the left would be more inspired to vote, but likely would list Clinton as their second choice, where their vote would go if Jackson did not finish ahead of Clinton in a particular state.
		It provides them with a greater reason to vote and, if they choose to vote, an increased chance to have their vote count toward a winner.

	Maximum majority voting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maximum majority voting (MMV) is a voting method that selects a single winner using votes that express preferences.
		MMV and maximize affirmed majorities (MAM) are variations of Tideman's ranked pairs (RP) method.
		Note that this is different from some other preference voting systems such as Borda and instant-runoff voting, which do not make this guarantee.

	Radical Centrism: Maximum Majority Voting
		Maximum Majority Voting is based on the latest research into election reform, but is still designed to be as simple as possible to use and understand.
		MMV also tends to discourage mudslinging in multi-candidate elections, since there is an incentive to have the other candidate's supporters vote for you as second or third place.
		MMV can be considered a deterministic variation of Steve Eppley's Maximize Affirmed Majorities (MAM) system, which in turn is based of Tideman's well-studied Ranked Pairs algorithm for finding the pairwise winner (also known as the Condorcet winner).

	Maximize Affirmed Majorities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MAM is a variation of the Ranked Pairs (RP) voting method, with additional refinements to break ties using as much information as available from a set of votes.
		Another voting method that is a variation of ranked pairs is Maximum Majority Voting (MMV).
		Where the majorities are equal, the majority with the smaller minority opposition is ranked first.

	Proportional Representation Systems
		One variation of the mixed-member system is called "parallel voting." It uses the same double ballot, but it differs in that the party list seats are simply divided proportionately among the parties then added to the district winners, with not attempt to ensure proportional representation for parties in the legislature.
		In the single transferable vote, votes are transferred around just as the students moved from candidate to candidate in the analogy.
		All votes are for individual candidates not parties, and this arrangement allows voters to cross party lines with their votes.

		Although presidential victories without a majority of the vote are nothing new, minority rule is likely to become the norm because times indeed have changed.
		One clear reason for the change was that no governing party had won a majority of the vote since 1951 and that twice governing parties had won a lower percentage of the national vote than the other party.

	Articles of Interest/Aspects of Voting Systems
		A voting system may select only one option (usually a candidate, but also an option that represents a decision), in which case it is called a "single winner system", or it may select multiple options, for example candidates to fill an assembly or alternative possible decisions on the measure the ballot posed.
		The basic idea is as follows: If your first choice does not have enough votes to win, he or she is eliminated, and your vote is transferred to your next choice, and possibly to subsequent choices in turn.
		If your first choice has more votes than he or she needs to win, then some fraction of your vote is transfered to your next choice, and possibly to subsequent choices in turn.

		All the votes for candidate Alice over candidate Bob are counted, as are all of the votes for Bob over Alice.
		In the Ranked Pairs (RP) voting method, pairs of defeats are ranked (sorted) from largest majority to smallest majority.
		B is preferred by a 501-499 majority to A, and by a 502-498 majority to C. So, according to the Condorcet criterion, B should win, despite the fact that very few voters rank B in first place.
