Mr. Ossipoff wrote- In general, any example that complies with the premise of a criterion, and in which the method being tested doesn't meet the requirement of the criterion will be sufficient to show that that method fails the criterion. Also, such an example is necessary to show that. In fact, that's what it takes to show that any method fails any criterion. For more detail, I refer you to the definitions of the criteria. ---- D- How many criterion (criteria) (such as Majority Rule) fail one or more method(s) ??? Which fails first - a criterion or a method ??? Or, how many divided majorities are there ??? 1 or a zillion ??? One poll indicates - 26 AB 25 BA 49 C 100 What is a poor minority C voter to do ??? Another election poll indicates- 35 DEF 34 EFD 31 FDE 100 Is a clone a choice that is beaten head to head by a majority ??? Adding G (who is happens to be a 100 percent clone of F) - 35 DEFG 34 EFGD 31 FGDE Some voters may actually vote G before F. If a majority vote G before F, then is F now the clone of G ??? I bring up the above stuff since elections have been mystified almost beyond belief on this list for many moons (years) with the zillion ABC to XYZ criteria (almost as bad as the various mystical dogmas of the various mystified religions). The elementary majority rule notion also applies in p.r. elections-- can ANY majority of the voters elect a number of legislators who have a majority of the voting power in the legislative body involved ??? (which is why p.r. election math for legislative bodies is very closely related to single winner election math for executive and judicial offices).`
