For executive and judicial elections I have suggested having a YES/NO vote on
each choice and the use of number votes (1, 2, etc.)
The YES/NO matrix would be-
YES NO
A YA NA
B YB NB
C YC NC
etc. etc. etc.
Two or more majority YES choices (of all of the voters) would go into the head
to head matrix.
A B C etc.
A X A>B A>C etc.
B B>A X B>C etc.
C C>A C>B X etc.
etc. etc. etc. etc.
If there is no choice which beats each other choice, then there would be a
third matrix as a tiebreaker.
Place votes of the number votes
1 2 3 etc.
A A1 A2 A3 etc.
B B1 B2 B3 etc.
C C1 C2 C3 etc.
etc. etc. etc. etc.
Choices not voted for would be put in last place.
Subtract the last half place votes from the first half place votes (if even-
numbered choices) or add the middle place votes (if odd-numbered choices).
Highest total wins.
