Multi-choice voting

Maybe it's already been asked a thousand times, but Here I come:

Why does DA not use a multi-choice poll, check and uncheck voting system?

I mean, it could (maybe should) be a choice for the deviants creating a poll. Do they want an answer or do they want a winner and a runner up. With a voting system like we have now, the runner up is being selected by a few people and the winner gets all. Sounds fair, looks fair, but isn't.

If I wanted a winner and a runner up, I would like to check more boxes/choices. From 3 or more choices, you will see that a winner and a runner up is picked by many more people. One can give their vote to the first and second choice. And another can give their choices up too and walla you have a difference. Maybe 4 choices with one vote, or 2 with 2 votes. But it could also be, 2 with 1 vote and 1 with 2 votes. More people vote, more differences appear.

The deviant that makes the poll should be allowed to set a limit of maximum votes. Does the deviant want a 1 2 3 out of ten choices, he should be able set the maximum to 3 choices. Does he only need a winner and a runner up, he should be able to set the maximum to 2 out of ten choices.

I hope I made some sence, the main question is actually: Why not?
