OK, let's assume that as defined, Bucklin fails Participation.
Let me specify a new criteria, which already either has its own name that I do not know, or which I can call Prime Participation: "Adding one or more ballots that vote X as a highest preference should never change the winner from X to Y" In other words, expressing a first place/greatest magnitude preference for X, if X was already winning, cannot make X not win. This may be another one so basic that few or maybe no real voting systems fail it? -Benn Grant eFix Computer Consulting <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] 603.283.6601
