Always go to vote
Abraham-Ada's Method

/*********************************************************/
Hi, folks.

Do you know how to vote when you DON'T like either
candidates, Richard and Thomas?

Yes, you are right. Pick Richard when you don't like
either because 'R' < 'T'.

If we don't go to vote, they will believe that we are
vanished.

If we pick one randomly, they will believe that we will
cancel each other and our opinion is mere a noise.

We, the people who don't like either candidates, should
agree the voting strategy that all of us will pick the
bad bird according to the given name in alphabetical
order from A to Z.

The idea is to tell them "Give us at least one candidate
we like or whose name is Abraham".

If the USA still have 10 votes remain and we insist this
voting strategy, I guarantee that we will have a
president we like before the USA die out.

I don't know if my English skill is good enough to
explain this great idea clearly. But I believe you can
understand it because you are electrical engineers.

If you think this great idea will help the USA, please
share it with your family, your friends, your enemies
and anyone you know.

Have fun.

/* The code_001 still has a problem. If they set up a dummy
or so call 'third party' whose name is Abraham to absorb our
arrows and to defend the Richard and Thomas, our votes will
have no effect because according to code_001 we will pick this
dummy. And we are still vanished just as we do not go to vote.

Hence I give the code_002 as a revise. I think if they want
to sale Richard and Thomas to us, Richard and Thomas will
become the two most well-known candidates. */

Example:

Suppose there are 10,000 voters. 60% or 6000 do not
like Richard or Thomas. And in the remaining 40% or
4000, 55% like Thomas, 45% like Richard.

(1) If this 6000 does not go to vote, then Thomas gets
4000*55%=2200, Richard gets 4000*45%=1800, Thomas wins.

(2) If 15% of this 6000, that is 900, goes to vote. But
they pick one randomly. Usually according to the normal
distribution law, Richard or Thomas will get approximately
same points. Let's assume Richard gets 467 and Thomas
gets 433. Then Richard, 1800+467=2267, Thomas,
2200+433=2633. Thomas wins.

Even 6000 is a large number, but they will not affect
the result because they cancel each other. They do not
matter.

(3) If 15% of this 6000, that is 900, goes to vote. They
all pick Richard according to code_002 when they do not
like either. Then Richard gets 1800+900=2700, and Thomas
still gets 2200, Richard wins and Thomas loses.

After the boss of the election game in the background
knows the code_002, next time he/she will give you a
bird you like or a bird whose name is Abraham and no
one want to be the second bird whose losing can be
predicted. And this election game can not fool people
again.

We just push the boat according to the flow. That is
the point.

YES, WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED FOR MORE THAN 200 YEARS.
