Wouldn't A have been eliminated first because it got 0 votes?

[@2ndchannelfiddler32]

It was eliminated first in the textbook version of this problem.

[@justindavis9465]

Yeah, this is not quite correct.

[@therafaels]

This is incorrectly done in the first step - A should have been eliminated first since they had zero first place votes. Please update.

[@sierras101]

why did the A votes get transfered to D and not C

[@gqhomeloans4319]

This example of the IRV method is incorrect because "A" would be eliminated in Round 1 first because it had the least amount of first-choice votes (0), and then so on and so forth....

Hi i'm Korean student. I am making a report about instant runoff voting. but i don't know how to count the number of votes. i watched your video and perfectly understanded it. thank you for making this video. i really appreciate it.

[@masonsumi12]

Wouldn't C be eliminated before D because it's smaller? Also A should be eliminated first?

[@vincentyan8114]

What if there are 2 or 3 out of 4 candidates having won the same fewest votes in the first counting? In this case which candidate should be eliminated?

how does this differ to plurality with elimination?

[@mattsmith2702]

Why would you ever use instant run off as opposed to rank choice?

[@TheJMan152]

These videos are the best!!!

[@rogerherrera9920]

these videos are good but you need to work on your handwriting.

[@therafaels]

These are different names for the same method, so no difference :)
