I think the 1996 Republican Presidential primary voters wish they
had a way to show their whole field is a bunch of losers. Plain
Condorcet wouldn't let them show it; Condorcet is only relative
rankings with no reference point.
I'd like to be able to vote {1=NOTB 2=Hitler,Stalin} in a two-way
race. With plain Condorcet, all one could do is abstain.
I'll have to read the rest of Mike's post in the morning when my
brain is fresh, since I didn't realize there can be a difference
between the results of Condorcet+NOTB and Condorcet+Disapproval.
Mike, if he's kind, will post a numeric example showing how the
winner can differ.
