Dear John B. Hodges, the following example demonstrates that Bucklin violates consistency. Situation 1: 4 A > B > C 5 B > C > A 6 C > A > B Candidate C is the unique Bucklin winner. Situation 2: 4 A > B > C 5 C > A > B Candidate C is the unique Bucklin winner. Situation 1+2: Candidate A is the unique Bucklin winner. Markus Schulze
