How Borda Count Works

Each voter ranks all candidates. With N candidates, 1st place gets N-1 points, 2nd gets N-2, ... last gets 0.

The candidate with the most total points wins.

Critical flaw: violates Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives. Adding a losing candidate can change who wins!

Try the "Add Irrelevant Candidate" button -- watch the winner flip.
