For the top two vote getters, they add the second and third column votes.

Is the winner the one with the most votes, even if they don't get 50%?
50% of X voters, or 50% of 3X votes?

The best chance of winning would be to vote for your candidate 3 times. I hope they have a mechanism in place that prohibits that from happening.
