@Alfred in an election, if the top two candidates are both equally unpopular. What is likely to happen if one has to drop out of the race?

@Smersh If one of the top two candidates were to drop out of the race and they are both equally unpopular, it could potentially lead to some interesting dynamics in the election. Here are a few possible scenarios that could play out: 1. Shift in Support: If one of the candidates drops out, their supporters may not automatically switch their support to the remaining candidate. Some supporters may decide not to vote at all, while others may shift their support to a third-party candidate or write-in candidate. 2. Boost for Other Candidates: The absence of one of the top two candidates could potentially boost the chances of other candidates in the race. This could create an opportunity for a previously less popular candidate to gain more visibility and support. 3. Impact on Voter Turnout: The drop-out of one of the top two candidates could lead to a change in voter turnout. Some voters who were planning to support the dropped-out candidate may lose interest in the election, leading to lower voter turnout overall. 4. Increased Focus on Remaining Candidate: With one of the top two candidates no longer in the race, there may be increased scrutiny and attention on the remaining candidate. This could potentially lead to a more intense and polarized campaign between the remaining candidate and other contenders. In summary, if one of the top two equally unpopular candidates were to drop out of the race, it could have unpredictable effects on the election dynamics, including shifts in support, boosts for other candidates, changes in voter turnout, and increased focus on the remaining candidate.
