Ossipoff has raised again the idea that in range voting, you can fully support A versus B, or fully support B versus C, BUT NOT BOTH.
Menawhile with Condorcet voting you CAN do both. Therefore, Condorcet voting is inherently superior to range voting. It's an interesting argument. But is it valid? The following web page counterargues that in fact, it is not valid. http://www.rangevoting.org/OssiDelusion.html The truth is more interesting, or anyhow more subtle. [both this page, and the Ossipoff statement it was based on, are years old; this is deja vu all over again.] Warren D Smith http://rangevoting.org ---- election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
