This city votes today in its first mayoral election in 64 years without an incumbent. But high voter apathy combined with general disgust over the highly personal, mudslinging campaigns of candidates Michael Woo and Richard Riordan have left many voters wishing they could pull a lever for neither.
Playoff voting (All logos are paired against each another as in a cup. Each users votes which of the two logos that face each other that they think is best. The winner of each duel is paired against another winner until only one logo remains). Note: This option was added after several days of voting.
Instant-runoff voting (rank the candidates and conduct a virtual run-off election, each time eliminating the candidate with the fewest first-place votes until one candidate has a majority of first-place votes).
Average voting: This guarantees (Wow!) a high level of transparency and makes it very easy for everyone to use their votes to the effect they find useful or necessary (summarise to "easy to vote"); that is, if they dislike a particular logo very strongly, they can exercise a high influence to prevent it from being successful, whereas they can also express moderate opinions or very strong approval.

At the state level, early contest states have generally seen affordability improve across the income spectrum. However, with the exception of New Hampshire, affordability tended to improve most for households earning higher incomes. Although affordability gains for lower-income households were greater than the national rate in Iowa and New Hampshire, they were far below the national rate in Nevada and South Carolina. In these states affordability gains for higher-income households were greater than the national rate.
Some of the early-voting states mirror national housing market trends, but their differences, such as above- or below-average homeownership rates, distribution of improvements in affordability, and price growth may lead to different voting patterns in these early states than in the rest of the U.S. Regardless of the outcome of these primary and caucus votes, housing plays a key role in the lives of voters and thus will have to be something that the candidates address before November.

Campaigning for the 2008 presidential election started earlier than any on record. And now it looks like voting could actually begin in 2007, as states continue to maneuver to be the earliest to hold nominating contests.
In previous chapters, we compared approval voting to other single-ballot voting systems that may restrict the numbers of candidates one is allowed to vote for, and to runoff election systems in which the two candidates with the most first-ballot votes go onto the runoff ballot. Approval voting seems to be competitive and often superior to other systems in its ability to elicit honest or sincere responses from voters, its relative invulnerability to strategic manipulation, and its propensity to elect Condorcet or majority candidates. With respect to the last criterion, it was shown in Chapter 4 that approval voting would almost surely have found the probable Condorcet candidate in an important congressional leadership contest in 1976.
Bloomberg has barely crossed paths on the trail with his fellow Democrats. He decided to skip the first four voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina in favor of focusing on the 14 states that vote on March 3 and the contests that come afterward.
