Here's the links and a quick summary of what was said: Page 1<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/opinion/sunday/sunday-dialogue-rethinking-how-we-vote.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&ref=opinion> Liskov: Too complicated, just same-day primaries Stevens: Iowa is good for "retail politics"" Steven Brams: IRV sucks, approval better.
Page 2:<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/opinion/sunday/sunday-dialogue-rethinking-how-we-vote.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&ref=opinion> Szydlik: Threatens establishment, we need wide grassroots. Donovan: Caucuses are undemocratic Maskin (nobel-prize winning economist): Condorcet better (he calls it "true majority rule <http://www.sss.ias.edu/files/pdfs/maskincv.pdf>") Page 3:<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/opinion/sunday/sunday-dialogue-rethinking-how-we-vote.html?pagewanted=3&_r=1&ref=opinion> Bullard: IRV good idea Richie: responds, including approval-fails-majority-criterion argument. So they didn't publish my letter, but my points were made by Brams, Szydlik, and Maskin. Jameson
