Could I get some opinions on what resolution methods are most free of incentive to rank insincerely, or run clones, even if the results are "inferior"?
Smith//RandomBallot seems to encourage (however slightly) up-ranking compromise candidates. Smith//RandomCandidate isn't clone-proof. Smith//MMPO is something I want to think about. I was also thinking about a kind of Smith//Bucklin, but that would suggest up-ranking compromises, too. The results might be decent, though. What if the winner of the strongest (WV) defeat against a Smith member were made the winner? This example was discussed awhile ago: 49 Bush 24 Gore 27 Nader>Gore propositions: 51-49 Gore>Bush 49-27 Bush>Nader 27-24 Nader>Gore RP(margins) elects Bush; RP(wv) elects Gore. Are there other (simpler) methods which necessarily elect Gore? "Most Votes In Any Contest" elects Gore. I believe "Plain Condorcet" elects Gore.
