    Remember to fully fill out your ballot with five names too!

    I don’t think this is true. In fact, people should not be ranking Cuomo at all.

    You can rank five names but you do not need to.

      There are more than five candidates so pick five good apples and exclude Cuomo entirely. To maximize the chance of your vote counting you should fill in all five because depending on how many rounds there are your vote may not count if you didn’t rank all five. Please read the comments other people have been posting in reply to mine.

        Right, but my point is that if you only agree with three candidates, you do not need to rank five. You can just rank the three that you are comfortable supporting.

        There was heavy implication in the thread that you need to fill in all five or else it won’t count.

        By having people believe that they need to fill in all five when that is not true, could lead to votes for candidates that people would not have otherwise ever supported because they misunderstood the assignment.
