[EM] Weighted Votes

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

Second, etc. choices are generally not valued equally with first choices.

Thus, one way to deal with such situation is to relatively weigh the votes 
for tiebreaker purposes.

Example-
Single executive or judicial office
         Vote      Weighted Vote
B           80    33.33
E          100   41.67
F           60    25.00
Total    240  100.00

A computer voting system would probably have to be used.

Each choice would have to get a YES majority.  If there was no head to head 
winner using number rank votes (1, 2, etc.), then the Weighted Votes would be 
totalled as a tiebreaker.

Quare - Have negative weighted votes also for really disliked choices ?   Or 
- Deem above 50 on a 0 to 100 scale to be positive and below 50 to be 
negative (since many folks might have problems with negative votes such as 
-80) ?
