We have a 3-way race for board.

Two seats are open; voters can vote for two candidates.

How do you maximize the chances of one particular candidate winning?

Do you vote only for that candidate?

OR: say you think your candidate is least likely to win --- and you think you know which candidate has the most support.

What's your strategy?

Say there's one candidate you absolutely don't want on the board (and by the way, that's not the case here -- Ed and I like all 3 candidates & have been debating which two we'd prefer) -- but say you have a candidate you absolutely don't want on the board, then what?

The scenario of having one candidate you absolutely don't want, btw, does hold true for some voters here. I would go so far as to say that, of people who are tuned in, Ed and I are the only people who don't harbor a passionate objection to one candidate in particular.

We're perplexed.
