in effect, it gives some people one vote, and some people more than one. I am not sure how you work that out.
The way I see it, everyone still gets the same number of votes. For example, with a 3 candidate race and (say) 10 voters, if at the first round, 4 people vote for A and four for B, and two for C, and the two votes for C are then re-allocated to B (hurrah! B wins), then it isn't the case that those who voted for A or B got one vote, and those who voted for C and then B got two votes: everyone got two votes. 4 people said 'keep voting for A, until A stops being a candidatate', and voted A twice as a result, 4 people said 'keep voting for B, until B stops being a candidatate', and voted B twice as a result, and 2 people said 'keep voting for C, until C stops being a candidatate, then vote for B', and voted C once and B once as a result.
