Mike,
In reference to my question about MMPO in the 49A, 24B,27C>B scenario
(a MMPO tie), you wrote:
If one of the 24 "B" voters ranks A in 2nd place, that ends the tie
between B and C. Now there are 50 voters ranking A over C, but only 49
ranking A over B. C;s largest votes-against is now 50. B's largest
votes-against is still 49. B wins.
As I said, MMPO's ties are based on an unrealistic assumption of
uniform voting.
Ok, I agree. An IRVist might complain about this failure of
Later-no-Help. I still think that the proposal should include some
simple deterministic uncontroversial tie-breaker,
such as FPP(whole) or FPP(fractional).
