Lowest Number of First Choice votes tie breaker, Ver.2

[Mike Ossipoff]

I've answered Demorep's objections's to Condorcet's method dozens of times.
Now that there are more members on EM, who weren't there when I answered
these same objections on previous occasions, I guess that means it's
necessary to yet again answer these recycled objections.

First, though, since in Demorep's letter to which I'm replying,
Demorep's example is central to what he's saying, let me first say:

Demorep, you've been repeatedly asked to express your examples in
a form that makes sense to others on the list. How about something
simple, like (to quote an example that I've used):

40: A,B,C
25: B,A,C
35: C,B,A

The numbers before the colon indicate numbers of voters voting
the ranking that follows the colon. The rankings list, horizontally]
in a line, the candidates in order of preference in the ranking.

It isn't reasonable to ask people to decyher the cryptic way you write
your examples. When you write it in plaintext, then I'd be glad to
reply.


Mike
