But, asset does use a secret ballot for the first stage.  If I was
implementing it large scale I would include a rule that says that only
electors who receive, say 20+ votes count.

Each vote would then indicate 2 choices.  If their first choice
doesn't get 20 votes, then their vote goes to their 2nd choice.  It
would proceed as per normal Asset after that.

The people who receive votes then can cast then in the 2nd stage of
the election.

Why is this different from when legislators vote in a parliament?
They are also open to corruption and bribery.

You could also implement where a voter can rank the candidates and
then if the vote becomes exhausted, then their first choice gets to
decide how the vote is transferred.
