Due to time constraints, I'm not going to subscribe to election-methods for now; hopefully things will be better after June. I'm often interested in the discussions, just a matter of prioritizing. If anyone has a question about computerizing, PRMaster, or the like, they should ask me directly. -- Jim On Thu, 15 Feb 1996, Rob Lanphier wrote: > I'm starting up an "election-methods-list" list to discuss single-winner > reform, the relative merits of different PR systems, and the technical > underpinnings of all election methods.
