The claim was based on simulations described at http://rangevoting.org/vsi.html A more academic-style presentation of similar results is available at http://math.temple.edu/~wds/homepage/rangevote.pdf The code used is also made available, so you can re-run the simulations, or modify them to fix any perceived deficiencies. -- Barak A.
