I believe we should NOT change the system in the middle of an election.
The rounds show relative strength as a snapshot in time. Ofr course, the
campaigning continues, and the opportunity for one of those elimated to
throw support at another candidate.

Are we not able to eliminate the two lowest votes in the first round? 

As example: 

If there is one person with no votes, and one with 2, then we would
eliminate two people.

If there is one person with 1 vote and one with 2, then we would
eliminate two people.

It makes no sense to drag this on for numerous sets of voting.

Elisabeth,
thanks for the election process update. Just to clarify. We propose to
eliminate in each round BOTH the lowest vote AND in addition anyone with
zero votes?

So,
We eliminate one if there is NO ONE with a zero vote.
We eliminate two if there is ONE person with a zero vote.

Is this the system you propose?
Philip
