Voting Methods

There are many types of ballots used in real-life elections, ranging from the simple (winner only) to the exotic (each voter has a fixed number of points to divide among the candidates any way he or she sees fit).

(a) Research other types of ballots; how, where, and when they are used; and what are the arguments for and against their use.

(b) Based on your research in Part (a) and what you learned in class, decide on a type of ballot and voting method you would choose to have for the presidential election. Make sure to explain your choices.
