I think we should run an IRV vote
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting]

Everybody writes down an ordered list of preferences, e.g.
1. Foo
2. Bar
3. Baz

Only the first vote is "active".  Votes are summed up and if something
has 50%, it wins.  If not, the choice with the fewest votes is removed,
and all votes that have that choice as #1 jump to #2.  Repeat.

I suggest we use the data we have now to eliminate some choices, and
also as a tiebreaker when a choice needs to be removed (by removing the
one with the largest number of "don't like" votes first).

Cheers,
