Simple break down:

You vote for your top choices number them, effectively, top choice, second choice, third choice. If no one gets over 50% of teh vote, the person w/ the lowest "first choice" votes is dropped and their second choice is counted. This happens until someone gets over 50% of the vote. That person is declared the winner.

With all the problems we have with voting already - apparently it's just too complicated - moving to this system is likely going to be a completely CF.

It sounds like the "ballot" I was brought in my hospital room so I could vote on the next day's meal selections.

And it looks like it will be used for the same purpose: to confuse you into thinking that your wishes will actually count, and to keep you from catching on that - whichever way you cast your vote - you're still just getting a big, sloppy shit sandwich.
