Slightly better, and works well in practice[0],
replace step 6 with &quot;Repeat from step 3 until one candidate has more than 2&#x2F;3 the votes, and possibly chage step 5 to cut candidate list down more quickly (imagine how long it would take to eliminate 1 at a time with 100 candidates). If after 2 candidates remain neither gets more than 2&#x2F;3 the vote, flip a coin.<p>[0] Search &quot;AA 3d Legacy Election&quot;
