[EM] Ted--Can AERLO be matched with one count?

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

Ted--

Thanks for your interesting posting about the possiblity of achieving what 
AERLO achieves, but with just one count.

I've copied that posting, to check it out.

But let me briefly comment now: It isn't as if AERLO requires two 
ballotings--it's just two counts, and that won't take a significant amount 
of time. So if the properties of a rank method with AERLO had to be 
significantly compromised in order to just use one count, it wouldn't be 
worth it, because two counts aren't any trouble.

On the other hand, if all the properties can be preserved, with just one 
count, of course that would be an efficiency improvement. But would it be as 
simple to describe to the public as Condorcet with AERLO, ERIRV with AERLO, 
or Bucklin with AERLO?

More later, when I've checked out the posting.
