Date: 2005-09-14 01:19 am (UTC)Take a cue from science:
Measurement. Error.
After seeing what happened in your fair state, I'm now convinced that any election where no candidate can get more than 2-sigma over any other candidate should be thrown out as a "garbage-election" ... along with the candidates.
Measurement. Error.
In Physics, do you know what we call a system where the measurement to tell state-A from state-B falls is smaller than the measurement error? We call it a random number generator.
If votes(A) - votes(B) < VoteCountMeasurementError, you can do recounts 'til the crack-o-doom. You'll get a random result every recount.
So, do what the physicists do: declare the measurement useless, scrap the bad material (the candidates), and start over. Perhaps, with two better-quality candidates, the voters will make a clearer selection.
