If you really believe your candidate is less than 50% likely to be the “correct” candidate, you can just vote for the other one. Then you will necessarily have a >50% confidence you voted for the correct candidate. You can’t possibly do worse on a binary decision.
You could vote for the other one, but you might not want to, say e.g. that almost all your friends think that the person is the correct candidate.
Also, when you think of the sentence, “my candidate is less than 50% likely to be the correct candidate,” you are likely to dislike that assertion, and to start thinking of reasons for saying that they are more than 50% likely to be the correct candidate.
