Watch 3 voting systems yield 3 different winners

Plurality, Instant Runoff (Rank Choice Voting) and Borda Count. Three different voting systems can yield 3 totally different winners even when the population of voters hasn’t changed at all.
Games like Werewolf, Among Us and Survivor have voting mechanics at your core. Did you know that the voting system used can completely change the outcome?

This person knows a lot about everything. I came here from his Flappy Bird video.

Awesome video! We can definitely draw some parallels to ranked matchmaking where the player can indicate his preference to a role in different voting systems.

great video! I always thought ranked choice voting worked like how you explained borda count, but I guess I was wrong

And that's a single elimination voting strategy... Backet run offs are even more convoluted. March Madness is really interesting, especially when 1-1 elimination can mean an Underdog for the whole event could get eliminated in round 1. And bracketing like the World Cup is even more complex, when you talk about seeding to get through the journey of the Winning Team

Wow! Sounds like there’s a whole rabbit hole that could be explored.
