Single winner case - Divided Majority

26 ABZ
25 BAZ
49 Z??
100

Note that Z has 51 votes in third (last) place.

Thus - remove losers -- right to left until there is a majority winner.

Note in real elections both the majority and minority groups might have 
multiple choices -- with some confused overlapping with the *middle* voters.

Some of the Z voters might obviously prefer the lesser of the A or B 
*evils*. 

ANY election reform has to be really simple to get past the low low low 
math brain cells of SCOTUS and the media.

For legislative body elections a choice would be elected when he/she got a 
Droop Quota --
Each winner would have a voting power equal to the final votes he/she gets 
(direct and moved votes).
