[EM] Re: Some Voting Tables

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

Alright, here's the example modified for those who believe in absolute
utilities:

45  A(100) B(60) C(20)
30  B(100) C(60) A(20)
25  C(100) A(60) B(20)
---
D- Then, again, as usual, which group of voters is NOT going to get its first 
choice elected ---- noting also, as usual, that 1st > 2nd, 2nd > 3rd, 3rd > 
4th, etc. ???   See my Contingent YES posting.  A later choice is only made 
if an earlier choice is not effective.

If votes are *randomly* removed, then guess which choice will get eliminated 
???

1st plus 2nd choices

A 45 (100) + 25 (60) = 70 ( > 50)
B 30 (100) + 45 (60) = 75 ( > 50)
C 25 (100) + 30 (60) = 55 ( > 50)

Intensity votes have their limits.

501 A (51) > 499 B (100)

Sorry majority rule (even if the bare majority choice is very mediocre).

Meanwhile, back on Mother Earth, I highly doubt that Mr. Bush and/or Mr. bin 
Laden are exactly thinking daily about majority rule (and various 
tiebreakers).
