Agreed. However, at least until we get a system where the winner must have at least 50%+1 of the vote, I will normally vote republican rather than libertarian. Voting libertarian or other 3rd party is a wasted vote. In 1992, Bill Clinton won because Ross Perot took 18% of the vote, mostly from those who would have otherwise voted for president Bush-41. If we had run-off elections, Perot and the others would have been discounted, and a new vote would have been only between president Bush and governor Clinton..
However, things change with run-off electrons!
Maybe, Ross Perot would have had a higher percentage than president Bush, leaving a run-off between him and governor Clinton. This is in the realm of possibility when people are not afraid of throwing away their vote!
