How Preferential Works

   In 1973, James Stephenson won the election for the mayoral seat of Ann Arbor. He had more votes than any other candidate, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM! This does not have to have happened again, because the people of Ann Arbor can vote on NOVEMBER 5 to establish Preferential Voting for Mayor. If we had this system back in '73 this man could have won.

   Under Preferential, voters get to make a second choice. In 1973, if all the HRP voters had "preferred" a Democrat to a Republican, they could have voted for the Dem as their SECOND CHOICE. 

   Since the HRP came in last, their first choice vote would be dropped. Instead, their second choice votes would have been counted and added to the remaining candidates. 

   Then, the Dems would have had a majority of the votes and JAMES STEPHENSON WOULD NOT HAVE BECOME MAYOR.
