Resolves to whichever candidate is winning the ranked choice comment vote by market close on election day. An iterative process is used, wherein the candidate with the least rank 1 votes is eliminated, everyone's rankings that included the eliminated candidate are moved up to fill the gap, then the candidate with the least new rank 1 votes is eliminated, until only one candidate remains. This allows voters to put as many obscure but potentially better candidates as they wish at higher rankings without fear of causing their preferred popular candidate to lose.

To vote, post a comment (or send me a DM if you're worried about privacy) including your ranking of candidates, with your top choice as number 1. Only your first comment that includes a ranking is counted, and only if not edited. You don't have to include all the candidates in your ranking. You may vote for write-in candidates not included in the market, as long as they are fictional characters who have been the US president in a work of fiction with a Wikipedia page. Votes after market close will not be counted.

Comments may also be used to advocate for specific candidates, joke around, ask questions etc without including a ranking.
