What I found quite amazing is how so much alike Approval and Condorcet are in the results. I wonder what the visualisation results would be for Borda. > Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 08:42:28 -0400 > From: Brian Olson > Subject: Re: [EM] Visualizations of Plurality, Hare, Approval, and > Condorcet > Nifty! > > Interesting methodology and good results.

Just in case something strange does crop up, I would quite like to see a 3D version of the above. I suppose one way to present it is to have it like an exploded pie chart, except it would be an exploded 3D visualisation of the election methods. Then you could have a sort of virtual reality exploration of the pieces? I don't know whether Macromedia Flash is up to this or not! Admittedly, the problem is that the edges of the pieces are in reality a fuzzy 'outline' made up of colours of the opposing candidates.
