another option is instant runoff elections. on the first line you can vote your conscience and then if there is no clear winner on the first ballot, it drops to secondary votes for the major candidates. in this scenario gore would more likely have won but supporters of buchanan and browne would cut into the far left bloc making it still a very close contest in some states.
NYT has the following pie splitz :
W = 49 %
Al = 48 %
Ref = 0 %
Grn = 2 %
Thats a total of 99% (great math) / but still not much of a bite rounding up to 1 % / another example of ignoring the 1/3 rds.
Any newer figs ?
