Oh hell . . . I mistyped the sizes of some of the voting blocs. Sorry about that.
Sincere preferences: 45:Reagan>Anderson>Carter 35:Carter>Anderson>Reagan 20:Anderson>Carter>Reagan Plurality equilibrium: 45:Reagan 35:Carter 20:Carter <--- insincere IRV equilibrium: 45:Anderson>Reagan>Carter <--- insincere 35:Carter>Anderson>Reagan 20:Anderson>Carter>Reagan Note that there are two other plurality equilibria. In fact, there's a plurality equilibrium for each sincere pairwise majority in an election, so there's always at least one that elects the Condorcet winner. I believe the IRV equilibrium above is unique, so all of the plurality and IRV equilibria for this electorate entail insincerity. ===== Rob LeGrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aggies.org/robl/ for Texas State Representative, District 50 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
