[EM] Need IRV examples; voting show

No - one vote can count towards the election only of one candidate.  But the voter
may have several votes being counted simultaneously.


> Do I have more power if I approve of several candidates?

That almost certainly depends on your definition of 'power'.


> Do I have most power if I approve all of them?

No - irrespective of your definition of 'power'.  To vote for all candidates has
the same effect on the outcome as not voting for any of them.  In terms of the
purpose of the election, the effect is identical - nil.
