An argument showing that in 3 winner elections. the 2 winner STV method must have a transfer value of 1.0 (if it is to be a good method), follows. I can't see...
The argument was incomplete. The aim of proportionality is being applied in the region around point R in the diagram. Near there, candidate A wins. The aim of...

A One Man One Vote rule (f=1) or a "Power<=1" rule (f=0) is applied to a fragment of a never derived 3 candidate election with the papers (A),(AB),(B),(C). Due...

It seems that the thread will be split into 2 halves over 2 mailing lists. It is not as if the Election Methods List members are astute enough to remind that a...

Date: 1 Feb 2003 Suppose there was a P2 rule that made statements permitting preferences to be created in the middle of preferences lists. E.g. 3(ABCD) = [ ...
I found the mistake in my argument that the Vermont method is monotonic. That argument appeared in my Politicians and Polytopes mailing list. The error occurs...
Is that something like this?: (+1 for A 1st; +1 for B 2nd; -1 for C 3rd; ...) That could be written as (+A, +B, -C). The leading +s can be missed: If C loses...
Here the 2 candidate 1 winner preferential voting is derived. Let the papers be these: a0 (A) ab (AB) b0 (B) ba (BA) z0 () Axioms can be selected from...

Ballot papers specifying preferences of equal ranking can be deal with in a way that is in the style of axiom P2. This responds to a topic touched by Mr...
The P2 sequence must be extended so that papers with minus one preferences are present. 2(AB) = (ABC)+(ABD) 3(A) = (AB)+(AC)+(AD) 4() = (A)+(B)+(C)+(D) ...
