	Spoiler effect - Electowiki
		The spoiler effect is a term to describe the effect a candidate can have on a close election, in which their candidacy results in the election being won by a candidate dissimilar to them, rather than a candidate similar to them.
		A voting system which satisfies the independence of irrelevant alternatives criterion is immune to the spoiler effect, but Arrow's impossibility theorem shows that rank-voting systems are unable to satisfy this criterion without exhibiting other undesirable properties as a consequence.
		The spoiler effect is one of the components contributing to the effect known as Duverger's law, which states that the first-past-the-post election system creates and preserves a two-party system.

		The spoiler effect is a term to describe the effect of a third party candidacy on a close election, possibly tipping the balance between two relatively close leading candidates.
		The effect is common in the first-past-the-post election system, in which the candidate that receives a plurality of votes (and not necessarily a majority of votes) wins the election.
		A novel attempt at an end run[?] around the spoiler effect was attempted by numerous groups during the 2000 U. election campaign.

		Other voting systems, such as approval voting or instant-runoff voting, are less vulnerable to spoiler effects, but Arrow's impossibility theorem shows that no voting system that meets other reasonable criteria can avoid such effects completely.
		The "spoiler" part of the phrase (which is usually used by the losing party), usually implies that the third party candidate in question is more similar to the losing party then the winning party.
		One example of the spoiler effect at work was the 2000 U.S. Presidential election.

		The inflatable airfoil spoiler aircell of claim 1 wherein said aircell is of air retaining material which will retain its designed spoiler shape when inflated and is inflated and deflated by an airvalve attached to said aircell.
		The spoiler is to be temporarily mounted on the rotorblade or wing of a parked aircraft to protect it from high wind damage.
		The effect of placing the aircell 13 on the top of the rotorblade is to move the air boundary layer separation point to the front of the airfoil, thus putting the airfoil into a full stall and producing little or no lift.

		Air hits spoilers horiziontaly on roadcars, and opposing the motion of the vehicle,so there is 0 downforce, meaning that if anything, it actually slows down the vehicle because the thickness of the spoiler creates a drag force.

		My spoiler doesn't point toward the ground at all but the top of the spoiler has a shorter distance for air to travel than the bottom.

	spoilers on cars - Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums
		Spoilers are used in race cars to provide downforce to the rear wheels, increasing traction at high speeds.
		The distinction between a spoiler and a wing though (as you implied) is that a spoiler acts to reduce the lift of the car and a wing creates its own lift (downward) separate from what the car body is doing.
		Spoilers are a simple method for reducing lift, although adding them randomly can make things worse.

	U.S. presidential election, 1992 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perot's almost 19% of the popular vote made him the most successful third-party presidential candidate in terms of popular vote since Theodore Roosevelt in the 1912 election.
		Some analysts believe that Perot acted as a spoiler in the election, primarily drawing votes away from Bush and allowing Clinton to win many states with less than a majority of votes.
		Perot managed to finish ahead of one of the two major party candidates in two states: In Maine, Perot received 30.44% of the vote to Bush's 30.39% (Clinton won Maine with 38.77%); In Utah, Perot received 27.34% of the vote to Clinton's 24.65% (Bush won Utah with 43.36%).

		The Bernoulli effect states that as a fluid decreases in velocity, the pressure increases.
		As the air passes of the top of the spoiler, it is traveling at a slower speed than the air passing under the spoiler.
		Therefore the pressure under the spoiler is less than the pressure being exerted to the top of the spoiler.
