For newer EM folks and perhaps even for some older EM folks.
Some voting tables with 3 choices. More choices- more complexity.
YES/NO Table
YES NO
A AY AN
B BY BN
C CY CN
2 or more choices may get YES (or NO) majorities.
Many votes obviously have an *intensity* scale factor on a plus 100 to minus
100 scale (or 100 to 0 scale to avoid negative math).
Head to Head Table (from Condorcet's works)
A B C
A ---- A > B A > C
B B > A ---- B > C
C C > A C > B -----
A *net* votes table can be done --- e.g. A > B votes minus B > A votes (or
vice versa)
There may or may not be a Condorcet Winner (CW) in the single winner case (or
enough multiple winners -- in p.r. elections or for multiple executive or
judicial offices).
There may or may not be 1 or more Condorcet Losers (CL).
Place Votes Table
1 2 3
A A1 A2 A3
B B1 B2 B3
C C1 C2 C3
A place vote may, of course, be a YES or NO vote.
Since the result is having 1 or more winners, then which method (or
combinations of methods) is *fairest* in eliminating losers --- all losers at
once or 1 or more at a time ???
