I browsed through the links of that site. It is interesting to see that FairVote Minnesota is planning to use the claim, that all election methods violate monotonicity, even at court. They write: "The non-monotonicity argument is irrelevant because it applies to all voting systems." See: http://www.fairvotemn.org/sites/fairvotemn.org/files/IRV%20lawsuit_FVM%20Reply_0.pdf And here they argue that IRV's violation of monotonicity results from Arrow's Theorem: http://www.fairvotemn.org/sites/fairvotemn.org/files/IRV%20lawsuit_City%20Reply.pdf Markus Schulze ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
