Plurality voting without the Electoral College In a three way race for POTUS. Let's say we have the traditional D and R. A fringe third party candidate runs and is widely hated (H) by everyone except his/her supporters. But the final results are
H 34% D 33% R 33% Now the hated candidate is leader of the free world. In Approval Voting, I think it unlikely in this hyper-partisan country that many voters will vote for D & R, and not H. So the results might very well be the same. Is this a legit flaw for Approval? It seems quite plausible to me.
