Ralph Nader Back On The Florida Ballot

Posted by timothy on from the divergence-of-views dept.

Makoto916 writes "It's official. The Florida State Supreme court has ruled in favor of 3rd party candidate Ralph Nader. He is now back on the ballot, and just in time since absentee ballots were to be mailed out tomorrow (Saturday). This is certainly a victory for those of us who believe that the country is better off when alternative political voices aren't suppressed."

    The theorem you are thinking of is Arrow's theorem.

    While it is true that no voting system is perfect, that certainly does not mean that all voting systems are equally imperfect. It's hard to see what advantages our current system has over a runoff system.
