My New Ballot (standards)

[Mike Ossipoff]

I unintentionally omitted something from the approval set of my
ballot when I voted earlier today, so I'd like to re-write my
ballot:

I approve: 

* Lesser-of-2-evils (We all know what that standard is, but I've
defined it as the desirability of casting a full-strength, reliably-
counted vote for a compromise over a last choice, while still casting
one for one's favorite over everything. Even if you don't word it that
way, I'm sure we agree on what the lesser-of-2-evils problem is).

* Minimizing need for defensive strategy & eliminating need for
drastic defensive strategy

* Ossipoff's Generalized Majority Criterion


***

I disapprove:

Candidate Counting

All of the criteria that I've called "candidate-counting criteria",
if any of them are proposed as standards for SWC

***

Mike Ossipoff




[I call my Generalized Criterion "Ossipoff's" to distinguish it
from the Mutual Majority Criterion, which has been called a
"Generalized Majority Criterion", though it's less general in
its application]
