(I wanted to eliminate two, but the last round was much closer than expected.)

Who should Hillary Clinton pick as her VP? Every 4 days the candidates with the lowest votes will be removed. The first candidate to 50% wins. In this round, you can vote for up to 2 candidates. You can always change your vote before the poll ends.

Results from last week: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=212799.0

Advanced:
Tim Kaine (VA)        (26.4%)
Martin Heinrich (NM)     (23.6%)
Sherrod Brown (OH)     (19.6%)
Julian Castro (TX)    (16.9%)

Eliminated:
Michael Bennet (CO)    (13.5%) Sad

Vice President is a taskless thanks, so I'd like to apply for the position.

Have to go with Kaine and Castro. Brown and Heinrich, while also excellent choices, would be replaced with Republicans, if they left their current seats.

Dems would win Heinrich's New Mexico seat.

Kaine has 28 votes out of 49 voters. Isn't that technically 50%?

Yes, over half of the voters have voted for Kaine, but he does not have a majority of the votes, which is currently at 81 (adding up the votes for all candidates)

What if a future poll was like this, where you could vote for two candidates:

Kaine: 7
Castro: 7
Brown: 6

Total voters: 10

The breakdown of this would be 4 voters voting for Kaine and Castro, 3 voters voting for Kaine and Brown, and 3 voters voting for Castro and Brown.

In this case, all candidates have a majority of the voters (and have passed 50%), but they also have not yet reached a majority of the votes (which is 20).

As I said in the OP, you can vote for up to 2 candidates, so if they really liked Kaine, they could vote for only him to improve his percentage.
