>Does anyone here have information about how the Mexican Presidential Election might have turned out IF it had been conducted with something besides plurality winner?
--yes. See the CRV's "wrong winner elections" page http://www.rangevoting.org/FunnyElections.html and appropriate subpages that give more details about mexico 2006, polls, and etc. There seems little doubt that Calderon only won as an artifact of the plurality system. Better systems would have elected Obrador or Madrazo. Incidentally, Peru 2006 and Chile 1970 are addressed there also and found to be examples of the failure of IRV. Pro-IRV gorups have falsely claimed there are no real world xamples of IRV failure. I recommend joinign and endorsing CRV as usual... Warren Smith http://www.RangeVoting.org PS. If you find more information about Mexico 06 that either supprots or argues against (or clarifies) these conclusions, please let me know. warren.wds ^at/ gmail.com ---- election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
