Here’s how MAS works: you can give each candidate 0, 1, or 2 points. *
Then, any candidate that gets a majority of 0’s is eliminated**,
unless that would eliminate everyone.** Of the remaining candidates,
highest score wins. *
Blank votes for a candidate count as 1 point in the same percentage as
that candidate gets of 2-point votes. Otherwise, they count as 0.
Equivalently, for each candidate, calculate the fraction of voters who gave
that candidate a 2. It will be some number between 0 and 1. Blank votes
for that candidate count as this real number.
