Submission Content
I propose a system of voting where each voter has one vote for each candidate on the ballot but must rank them in the order 1,2,3,4, etc.  If a candidate does not receive 70% of the count of the 1 votes, then the 2 (second preference) vote would be counted and so on.  A candidate would have to receive 70% of the vote to be elected.  This would be a fair and just system.
