Voting Strategies - Condorcet's Method

One thing I have never understood growing up is how people always talk about voting for the lesser of 2 evils. Because of this, voting has always been a struggle. I simply can't vote my values and know they will make a difference because no one else will vote their values. Instead, they vote the lesser of the evils with the largest marketing dollars. The fact is it is better to vote and not have that vote count than to not vote at all. So until something happens, I have to please my conscious.

Check out http://www.karlsims.com/second-choice-voting.html for more information on this concept. Lets hope something similar to this is introduced soon.
