Who says FlyerTalkers are not an astute crowd?

Mathematically, using some or just one of your allowable votes is the best way to ensure a candidate you really want will get in. Casting a single vote in a multi-candidate election is also known as "bullet voting."

Wouldn't you hate to have your fourth or "I don't care" fifth vote be the one that pushes out your favorite first choice? I didn't use all five of my votes, either.

That's really the only item that I am involved with.
If it was good enough for the Founding Fathers, it's good enough for FlyerTalk, your honor!
