I've got no problem with that approach and that has also been suggested using a 45% threshold.  At least under this approach these third party voters only get one vote.  Under what Reaffensberger proposed they get two votes and the rest of us only get one.  Stupid and wrong.

Once again, under that approach Losertarians can run and be the spolier by siphoning votes away for either the Democrat or Republican that actually has a chance of winning and that's life.  Losertarians in my experience lack common sense and would be better off voting for the candidate that most closely follows their views than wasting it on a third party loser that has no hope of winning.  These are usually cut off your nose to spite your face types that often get a winner that they detest more than the second place finisher that would have won had they not wasted their vote. Same goes with Independents that vote for a third party candidate......they often end up with the greater of the two evils and act like they are above the fray and high minded when in fact they are just useful idiots.

They think they are principled but in reality they are self destructive fools.  But they are free to be so in this great country of ours.
