VoteFair representation Ranking

  

First-most representative choice is:

Angie Miller

Second-most representative choice is:

Kree Harrison

Third-most representative choice is:

Candice Glover

Additional levels of representation were not calculated.
(There may be too many questions, too many choices for this question, or too many votes, or no further calculations were requested.)

VoteFair representation ranking results should be used when more than one choice is to be selected. Why? When there are 100 voters, 51 of them can choose the first winner, so the other 49 voters deserve extra influence in choosing the second winner (instead of letting the 51 voters also choose the second winner). When should representation results be used? When a second candidate is elected to a second equivalent seat in a state legislature, or when an organization pursues a simultaneous second activity in addition to the most popular activity.

Comparison of VoteFair Ranking with other voting methods

  
Voting method Winner
VoteFair Angie Miller
Instant runoff A winner cannot be identified because, in one of the rounds of voting, there is a tie among the choices with the fewest votes.
(The runoff steps did not involve a single choice being eliminated in the first round.)
Majority None of the choices has won a majority (more than half) the votes.

(62 ballots ignored because they rank more than one choice as the most-preferred choice.)
Plurality Angie Miller

(62 ballots ignored because they rank more than one choice as the most-preferred choice.)
Condorcet Angie Miller
Borda count Angie Miller
(132 ballots ignored because they rank more than one choice at the same preference level.)
