The following candidates make it to Round 2:

  • Bernie Sanders
  • Elizabeth Warren

Second Round:

Here are the vote counts for the second round. A candidate gets a vote if he/she has the highest number of stars in the truncated ballot. If multiple candidates get the same, highest, star count, then multiple candidates get a vote. In this sense, the second round is somewhere between Plurality and Approval.

Bernie Sanders47
Elizabeth Warren39

And the winner is: Bernie Sanders

Hopefully with a narrower field, more people will complete the poll.
