4.7. The instant recall method works as follows. If there is a candidate
with the majority of the first-place votes, that candidate is declared
the unique winner. Otherwise, the candidate with the plurality of the
first-place votes is eliminated from the slate and the process is repeated
among the remaining candidates. (Ignore the possibility that there may
be a tie for plurality winner.) The method is inspired by the recall elections that are permitted for California gubernatorial elections, which in
effect leave a system where plurality winners lacking majority support
are recallable, and so the ultimate holder of the governor’s office, if the
electorate so chooses, is the first candidate able to withstand a recall
(the first candidate to have majority support) after prior plurality winners are eliminated (i.e., recalled). Arnold Schwarzenegger took office in
California via a recall election.
