Black simply chooses the Condorcet winner if one exists and the Borda winner otherwise. Black doesn't meet Smith or independence of clones. I've noticed several authors liking Black because of its high incidence of agreement with Condorcet and Borda. Example: http://www.econ.kuleuven.ac.be/ew/admin/publications/DPS99/Dps9911.pdf Besides meeting the Condorcet criterion, I don't think Black has any advantage over Borda. -- Rob LeGrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aggies.org/honky98/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
