	Voting system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Voting weight is not the same thing as voting power, which measures a voter's ability to actually change the outcome of an election in situations where voters may form coalitions.
		Votes are transferred between candidates in a manner similar to instant runoff voting, but in addition to transferring votes from candidates who are eliminated, excess votes are also transferred from candidates who already have a quota.
		Voting is perhaps best known for its use in democratic elections, where political candidates are selected for public office based on the preferences of voters.

	Instant-runoff voting - Electowiki
		In order to increase awareness of the voting method and to demonstrate it in a real-world situation, the Independence Party of Minnesota tested IRV by using it in a straw poll during the 2004 Minnesota caucuses (results favored John Edwards).
		The system is favored by many third parties, most notably the Green Party and the United States Libertarian PartyLibertarian Party, as a solution to the "spoiler" effect third-party sympathizers suffer from under plurality voting (i.e., voters are forced to vote tactically to defeat the candidate they most dislike, rather than for their own preferred candidate).
		When the single transferable vote (STV) voting system is applied to a single-winner election it is sometimes called instant-runoff voting (IRV), as it is much like holding a series of runoff elections in which the lowest polling candidate is eliminated in each round until someone receives majority vote.

	Election Selection: Science News Online, Nov. 2, 2002
		Voters should be motivated to vote for their true favorites rather than feeling pressured by a bad voting system into voting for the lesser of two evils.
		Approval voting, Brams says, gives voters more sovereignty by enabling them to express the intensity of their preferences: a voter who strongly favors one candidate can vote for just that candidate, while a voter who can't stand one candidate can vote for everyone else.
		The only common voting procedure that would give a tie to both of these cases is the Borda count, which gives two points to a voter's top choice and one point to his second choice in a three-candidate election.

	(DV) Moon and Richie: Crying Reform, Not Wolf
		Because Touchscreen machines were not yet in use in 2000, a comparison of 2004 and 2000 voting patterns cannot be undermined by accusation of machine fraud in both election cycles.
		We must learn from other nations that have taken sensible steps like implementing universal voter registration to ensure clean and complete rolls, voting on a non-workday to ease voter access, paying for more pollworkers and setting rigorously enforced uniform standards for voting processes.
		Then we would have had the urgently needed media scrutiny of the indefensible position Ohio and Florida took in tossing out any provisional votes for president cast by eligible voters in the wrong polling place.

	Educated Guesswork: November 2003 Archives
		The data is whatever the voting machine says it is. This has the advantage that we're not subjected to counting-time debates about the meaning of political votes, which is a good thing, since, as we saw in 2000, people's positions on the standard of measurement are almost inevitably contaminated by the result they are seeking.
		What prompted the widespread interest in these systems was the unedifying spectacle of the 2000 Florida recount, where election officials were forced to decide what the interpretation of individual ballots should be.
		A lot of the concern about electronic voting has centered on the fact that the machines don't produce adequate audit trails and therefore are potentially susceptible to fraud.
