Actually, unless there's 3 people left, you will always win if the number of points greater than (3n-3)/2 (not equal to) with n being the number of competitors, assuming you give your points to anyone but your competitor. This is because if you have gained more than (3n-3)/2 points, you gave 3 points to someone else, then your opponent must have fewer than (3n-3)/2 points. The "normal" solution is greater than 3n/2 points, so this only saves either one or two points depending on whether the number of players is odd or even, but one or two points can be important near the end.
Which also means dahill is elected. Application of what I said above: If he gives 3 points to someone who is not kloud, then either that person or kloud can only get 17 points at most, since there are 14 points remaining with dahill's 19, kloud's 3 and someone else's 3.
So actually, there is some strategy involved in whether to give points early or late.
