With the raw true ratings voted, IRNR, Raw rating summation, and approval get the right answer: http://betterpolls.com/et?vrr=-r&if=-d&cand=3&seats=1&data=*55+100% 2C0%2C80%0D%0A*45+0%2C100%2C80%0D%0A But to me the end of the strategy discussion is that the A faction could simply bullet vote and no system can recover from a simple majority of votes {A=100,B=0,C=0}. http://betterpolls.com/et?vrr=-r&if=-d&cand=3&seats=1&data=*55+100% 2C0%2C1%0D%0A*45+0%2C100%2C80%0D%0A ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
