--WDS: fair enough. That is also an interesting question - what is the probability in the large #candidates limit, of the probability this will happen for a particular (random type of) voter? I conjecture that THAT tends to a positive constant. Warren D. Smith http://rangevoting.org ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
