I'm wondering what the verdict is on using Borda as the tie breaker for
deciding within the Schwartz Set. Some of the strongest Condorcet
advocates on this list feel that Borda is actually superior to
Condorcet *if* it can be ensured that only sincere voting is going on.
So if Borda is used only as a tiebreaker (which would only be rarely
needed), then there wouldn't be an incentive to use insincere
techniques that would normally work with Borda.
Or if not Borda, some other cardinal system. You'd only look ordinally
for Condorcet, and then use the cardinal calculations for the
tiebreaker within the Schwartz Set.
