The Burr dilemma or chicken dilemma is a kind of strategic voting that may affect approval or score voting. The term was used in the The Journal of Politics (2007) by Jack H. Nagel, who named it after Aaron Burr, who initially tied with Thomas Jefferson for Electoral College votes in the United States presidential election of 1800.[1][2] According to Nagel, the electoral tie resulted from "a strategic tension built into approval voting, which forces two leaders in appealing to the same voters to play a game of Chicken."[1]
