It is tucked away where nobody would ever look -- at the top of the home page: candidates are evaluated on the basis of their average score (of the non-X'ed ballots), and on reaching a threshhold for the percentage of ballots that are not X'ed. I thought the critique of Condorcet voting was somewhat of a strawman argument, since it was dependent on voting with complete, strict preferences or on poor implementation of basic strategy. Range voting doesn't satisfy the Condorcet criterion. But regarding Condorcet winners, the real question is under which conditions will Range voting elect the Condorcet candidate? -- David Cary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
