Where are you seeing the material you quoted? I agree that what you’re
quoting is inaccurate. However, here’s what I see when I click your link.


Ballots that *do not help voters’ top choices* win count for their next
choice.

there’s a difference between “if your first choice doesn’t win, your ballot
counts for your next choice” (wrong) and “if your ballot isn’t being used
to support your first choice, it’s being used to support your next choice
still in the running” (accurate)
