Did my arrival somehow bring less civility and/or tolerance, or was this always a rough-and-tumble place before I even got here?
I would hate to think that I brought the level of conversation down, politeness-wise. -Benn Grant -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Abd ul-Rahman Lomax Sent: Monday, July 1, 2013 2:23 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [CES #9014] Re: EMAV?

I've learned not to expect much depth from Clay. EMAV uses a score ballot and is based on score principles, with one difference: it tests for majority approval, which is the one fly in the score ointment, at least with regard to score methods that do not collect approval information. (Runoff Score might.) If there are multiple majorities, it uses score. If there is no majority approval, it uses score. It's a hybrid approval/score method. The only objection I've seen to it so far complained about "chicken dilemma," a complaint that would apply to score. Voting strategy would indicate voting a sincere score ballot, with the three constraints: 1. vote the favorite at top rating. 2. vote the least preferred at bottom rating. 3. consider the election expectation as the middle rating, and rate all candidates who meet or exceed the election expectation at the middle rating or higher. With the ranks, it satisfies the desire of voters to exert significant voting power while still expressing a first preference. So Clay is just expressing a knee-jerk preference for score, as he has done for years. Let us know, Clay, when you are ready to have a real conversation. Otherwise, keep up your good work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Center for Election Science" group.
