An odd collection of elections to report on - I question whether they
really serve your purpose.
US Electoral College - done with each state done separately, unlike
most any other election - meaning that various parts are done in
different ways.
Competition among Chirac, Le Pen, and Jospin in France in 2002. Each
of them got around 5 million votes with the other dozen sharing around
15 million.
Since Jospin was third and the 15 million were unwilling to vote for
Le Pen, Chirac got millions more votes in the runoff.
Perhaps worth your reporting, but seems like the oddity deserves
mentioning.
Perhaps worth mentioning Plurality's weakness here - could have had a
different method that did not drop Jospin.
