Clearly more people wanted either Bob, Jim or Jane to judge than wanted
John. In this simplistic example you can see that two thirds of the
voters
wanted nothing to do with John. Yet he would be judging the most
important
show of the year if we used the simple one vote method.
Under the weighted method 66% of the voters wanted Jane to judge
something. 53% wanted Jim to judge something and 60% of the voters wanted
Bob to
judge something. But only 34% wanted John to judge anything. Based on
this
why would we want to have John judge specials?
Well, John made it even clearer, but you can see the fight I had to put up
to get a weighted ballot.
If you want to make it simple and let the person who gets the most votes do
specials, and the second most do dogs and the third most do bitches, just
have everyone vote one time, (not three).
Maybe that would be too easy, and no one wanted to give up two votes. I
just listen, and as a little person, have given up trying to explain it. I am
glad John, who works with figures, was able to say it.
