add top-two instant runoff voting tabulation
add a winning method that produces a top-two IRV tabulation, where: first choices are tallied top two candidates are identified all candidates except the top two are eliminated Ballots transfer from eliminated candidates to the top two candidates candidate with the most votes wins
This is called "Contingent Vote" and has even more problems than Hare RCV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingent_vote
See https://github.com/BrightSpots/rcv/issues/579
@chughes297: are there specific jurisdictions that need this? (Assuming yes since you listed it as a v1.4 requirement.)
@endolith: yeah, you're preaching to the choir here! But I think our general stance is that a flawed version of IRV is better than nothing (FPTP) and we're willing to support it in the app if that's what it takes to get a jurisdiction moving in the right direction. (But that's just my take. @chughes297 can speak on behalf of the RCV Resource Center.)
Agree, I am not a fan but Utah has a bill that apparently has legs and requires this.
We could leave them high and dry....
We could leave them high and dry....
What's your best guess of what would actually happen if we did that?
Utah — Are they not already high and dry? 😂

if we didn't implement i can't imagine anyone else implementing this for them.
