What I call "votes for" in my paper is usually called "pairwise opposition" in this mailing list. The difference is described at the end of section 2.2.2: > So the only difference between the Schulze method > with "winning votes" and the Schulze method with > "votes for" (resp. between the Schulze method with > "losing votes" and the Schulze method with "votes > against") is that the condition "N[c(i),c(i+1)] > > N[c(i+1),c(i)] for all i = 1,...,(n-1)" is dropped.
