This from Warren Smith (Tue.Oct.4):
Robla failed to mention that range voting *does* obey a weakened form of
the majority-winner criterion (call it "WMW"). Specifically:
"If a strict majority of the voters regard X as their unique favorite, then
they, acting alone without regard to what the other voters do, can force his
election."
I don't know about you, but I personally regard WMW as a more-desirable
critrion for
a voting system to obey, than Anderson 1994's MW criterion.
Warren,
Are there any methods actually *fail* this criterion? Borda perhaps?
