    the possibility of everyones least favorite person being elected and that would be bad

    The mathematical possibility, yes, but are there examples of this occurring in real-world elections? If the candidates and voters are distributed over a conventional political spectrum, won’t you see centrist candidates win more frequently in non-winner-take-all systems?

      In theory sure. We have never been able to test it at scale. I am willing to try it, but good luck trying to get those in power to ever change a goddamn thing.
