Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The spoiler effect is the effect of vote splitting between candidates or ballot questions[1] who often have similar ideologies. One spoiler candidate's presence in the election draws votes from a major candidate with similar politics, thereby causing a strong opponent of both or several to win.[2][3][4][5] The minor candidate causing this effect is referred to as a spoiler.[6] However, short of any electoral fraud, this presents no grounds for a legal challenge. |
