Louisiana 1987

[Filuwaúrdjan]

If California and Washington adopted the Louisiana-system, it would supposedly make their gubernatorial elections the laughing stock of the country.   Californians were concerned that it might lead to elections with dozens of candidates in which a womanizer, body builder, and action movie star was elected.  Washingtonians were concerned that it could take months to count the votes, and votes would be found in the state's major city weeks after the election, and there would be numerous instances of dead people voting as well as people voting multiple times.
