The topic of this posting is a version of IRV-completed Condorcet that seems to pass Steve's truncation resistance criteria, aka Mike's strategy free criteria.
I had proposed something else back in July, involving something I called a "UMID" set, but I think Chris has shown me that it's not good. So how about this: 1. Eliminate non-members of the minimal dominant set. 2. Eliminate all candidates who are pairwise-beaten by a full majority UNLESS this doesn't leave anyone at all. 3. Hold an IRV tally between remaining candidates. Am I correct in thinking that this meets the criteria mentioned above? Does this seem like a sensible way to do IRV-completed Condorcet in general? my best, James ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
