minus-squareRhynoplaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·18 days agoGood point. Let’s make it more efficient! Everybody gets one vote and one veto. You can vote for anyone, even yourself, but if a single person vetos you, you’re out. Add up the votes, remove everybody with vetos, and there you go!

minus-squareMultiplexer@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·18 days agoYou don’t have to do it iteratively, just count the sum of the “out” votes from a single voting and the one with the least wins. Still not a good system in my view, though…
Elections would take 10,000 years.
