That's genius! As it stands, if I were to vote for a 3rd party candidate then I'm essentially throwing away my vote. However, if what you suggest were in place then the risk of a meaningless vote is vastly decreased, essentially eliminated.

Why isn't it used today?

Because the people with the power to change it aren't so keen on doing so, I'd guess.

That inevitably supposes that there are a group of individuals with the power to change the voting system.

Does such a group exist?
