To Mike Ossipoff...

I find some of your criterias partially subjective.

Please let me explain.

If a voter decides to truncate its preferences,
he changes some of his pairwise opinions from
A>B to A?B (meaning he does not care anymore).
It seems to me reasonable to accept that a change in
ballots can then imply a change in A or B's support.
Hence if C was the winner, but A or B's support
growths enough without changing C's support
It seems acceptable that C could loose his winner status.
SPC (secret preferences criteria) should ask for C's support
invariance by any change in the pairwise comparison between
A and B, not for C's status immuability.

What do you think?

Steph.
