Dear Warren, I don't seem to understand the definition: > A single-winner voting system "fails the NESD property" if, when every > honest voter > changes their vote to rank A top and B bottom (or B top and A bottom; > depends on the voter which way she goes), leaving it otherwise > unaltered, that always (except in very rare "exact tie" situations) > causes A or B to win.
So, when all voters vote strategic (i.e. no voter is honest) and all leave their ballots unchanged, then by definition "every honest voter changes their vote to rank A top and B bottom" but of course no system changes the result since no ballot is changed. Hence no system fails NESD. What is the misunderstanding here? Yours, Jobst ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
