To Mike Ossipoff... I find some of your criterias partially subjective.
Please let me explain. If a voter decides to truncate its preferences, he changes some of his pairwise opinions from A>B to A?B (meaning he does not care anymore). It seems to me reasonable to accept that a change in ballots can then imply a change in A or B's support. Hence if C was the winner, but A or B's support growths enough without changing C's support It seems acceptable that C could loose his winner status. SPC (secret preferences criteria) should ask for C's support invariance by any change in the pairwise comparison between A and B, not for C's status immuability. What do you think?
