A quick definition of plurality voting:

Plurality voting is a way of voting where the person with the most votes wins. It's like a race where the person who crosses the finish line first is the winner. In plurality voting, you don't have to get more than half of the votes to win, you just need to get more votes than anyone else. This is different from other types of voting where you need to get a majority of the votes to win.

A more thorough explanation:

Plurality voting is a type of voting system where the candidate with the most votes wins, even if they do not have a majority of the votes.

For example, in a race with three candidates, if Candidate A receives 40% of the votes, Candidate B receives 35% of the votes, and Candidate C receives 25% of the votes, Candidate A would win even though 60% of the voters did not choose them.

Plurality voting is commonly used in elections for public office, such as the United States presidential election. However, it has been criticized for not accurately representing the preferences of the voters and potentially leading to the election of a candidate who is not favored by the majority.

Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
