Markus-- If you want to define ICC in terms of actual votes, here's a better way: (with clones defined in terms of actual votes) Deleting from the ballots a member of a clone set that initially has more than 1 member, and then recounting those ballots, should never change the matter of whether or not the winner comes from that clone set. [end of definition] I objected to the fact that Plurality passes this criterion, even though Plurality is notorious for discouraging the running of similar candidates. That's why someone suggested that ICC be defined as I define CC: In terms of sincere preferences and stipulating sincere voting. Plurality then fails for the reason why we expect it to, as it does with my CC definition.
