'''Burying''' is a type of strategic voting in which a voter insincerely ranks an alternative lower in the hopes of defeating it. For example, in the [[Borda count]], a voter may insincerely rank a perceived strong alternative last in order to help their preferred alternative beat it. A real-world analogy would be voters of one party crossing over to vote in the other party's [[primary election|primary]] against the candidate they think might beat the candidate of their party. |
