Would Brian's IRNR benefit from an addditional level of recursion? The current way to eject candidates is to compare range scores, what if you modify that slightly?
Instead of kicking out the person with the lowest range score you replace that with: Kick out the person with the highest range score, shift the ratings and do the same thing again. You are left with one candidate. Kick this candidate out from the main system and repeat the above step. Just as a broader question, do methods such as IRV, Nanson, Baldwin, IRNR generally perform better or worse as additional levels of recursion are added? ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
