You can still use the weighted ballot as a single vote, just vote for one judge. That way for vote carries 3 times the value as someone picking 3.

Most votes Intersex, next dogs, next bitches. It was working and i can't see why anyone changed it, I can answer that. It was because with one vote, or three for every voter, it became easy for someone to gather a group and get someone elected. The last year it was used, "he who can not be named" got the German supporters together and got elected to the national. There had been complaints about the one vote for years, and so the board tried the weighted ballot. I like the judges we have had since, but it will be up to the board. It seems either way, some think the system is not working. It is not the results that are a problem, it is how the votes are counted that matters. I like being able to decide the dog, bitch or Special judge. But, what do I know?
