  • @lunalover99 Hi luna, I did not create this video, but I might be able to answer your question. Condorcet method is another method for voting. Why would we want another method? Because the most common method, called "First Past the Post" (FPTP) has problems that make it unfair for voters. FPTP is used in elections like the US Presidential race. Condorcet has problems too, but it's still way better than FPTP. For a great explanation go to "youtube.com", then slash "/", then "watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo"
