#### [[Ranked choice voting]] --- - One fix [to hacking voting] is ranked-choice voting, in which voters rank their choices for an office, the lowest-scoring candidate is eliminated, and votes for those bested candidates are redistributed in sequential “runoffs” until one achieves a majority. A ranked-choice system prevents third-party spoilers (a would-be spoiler’s votes are just reallocated to a different candidate, most likely one from whom they were intended to siphon support), and helps to ensure that the candidate most acceptable to a true majority of the electorate wins the election.
