Statement of Criterion

If an Ideal Democratic Winner (IDW) exists, and if a two-third majority
prefers the IDW to another candidate, then the other candidate should
not win if that majority votes sincerely and no other voter falsifies
any preferences.

I reply:

wv passes that criterion. Does relative margins pass it? Does margins
pass it?

If so, can you demonstrate they they do?

In any case, that's a weaker version of SFC, which wv meets and
margins fails, and relative margins fails.


Steph.
