So if 45% vote Candidate A, 40% vote candidate B, and then 15% vote Candidate C, and 66% of those that voted Candidate C voted second choice as Candidate B, then an extra 10% goes to Candidate B, giving him/her 50%, beating out Candidate A.

Floridans were fucked. They are now to be FUBAR. Maybe the primaries should be saddled with a vote for parties A, B, C, D, and E, and then whichever two parties that win those end up being allowed to place their nominees, A and B. Everybody else had their fair shake, yadda yadda yadda.

Edit: Furthermore, this would have no bearing whatsoever on congressional nominee placements. That would just be excessive.
