[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in part -- [P.S. Think the patient should consider the utilities of the three pairings?] --- D- Like it or not, the only *utilities* that most U.S.A. voters (who do NOT have election methods university math degrees) ever think about are --- guess what-- electric, gas, and/or water utilities. Such voters do however recognize that 2 votes is more than 1 vote (regardless of the *utility* of each vote involved). Zingers are cute ----- but what can/will a majority of John/Mary Q. Citizen-Voters accept to get rid of the total evil/danger of plurality in U.S.A. elections (especially for single winner offices -- Presidents, Governors, Mayors, etc.) ??? YES/NO, ranked votes --- 1, 2, etc., utilities, something else ??? Think very simple because that's the way most folks are ----- again-- like it or not. In other words, most of our fellow citizens do NOT have a clue (and do NOT want to have a clue) about the various A to Z criterion regarding various election methods--- majority versus minority is perhaps the current limit for most folks pending some very major public education for years and years.
