Mr. Ossipoff wrote in part- Here are some things that I'd check for [if IRV is used]:
1. A result that, when published, would show some people reason to regret that they didn't bury their favorite by ranking a compromise over him. 2. A violation of Monotonicity or Participation 3. A result in which a voted CW, a BeatsAll candidate, loses-- especially if s/he is also the voted favorite of the most people. 4. An extreme majority-rule violation 5. A violation of Consistency. 6. A violation of Heritage or Regularity --- D- Something to watch for (even by John/Mary Q. Citizens-VoterS) ------ the election of Hitler or Stalin clones via IRV (with their fictional extremist *mandates). As to 3 -- see my standard Hitler-Stalin-Washington example. The IRV folks may have set back electoral reform for decades when such HSW example becomes too obvious.
