1) The document discusses using a hypothetical "lifespan voting" system for the 2016 US presidential election where votes are weighted based on the average remaining lifespan of each voter's age group.

Notes: The table shows the breakdown of vote proportions for all parties by age group for the
presidential election. The ”Others” category includes any Independent or other party candidate
choice. The vote proportions are estimated using weighted vote counts from the ANES 2016 Time
Series data set. Respondents who did not register to vote, cast a ballot, or report their age, were
dropped. Those who had inappropriate or missing answers for vote choice were also dropped.
