p149, Condorcet says voters should sign their ballots "there can be no drawback in making each voter answerable for their choice." Oh.
hey, we could put serial numbers on each ballot. like they did in Iraq before 2002 (Saddam Hussein was re-elected with a 99% majority.)
i don't think that everything Condorcet said was good. he's not Einstein (so far all the General Relativity nay-sayers have failed to disprove Albert).
i am curious how Range can be directly compared to Condorcet, IRV, or anything that uses a Ranked Ballot. the ballots are different. assumptions need to be made in order to compare them.
