[EM] Re: Letter to author of voting system article

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

Ralph--

I'd said:

>I sent this comments letter to the author of an article on
   voting systems:

You replied:

it would help a
lot if you said what article you are referring to and where
it can be found. It would help to know what provoked your
detailed response.

I reply:

Yes, of course that should be posted too. I should have written that down at 
the time, but I only wanted to answer it.  But I'll find the article. It was 
by a woman, whose first name probably began with "K". Kristin, maybe.

The article described IRV, Borda, and Approval, giving the arguments of 
those methods' proponents and opponents in a balanced way.

When I find the article, I'll post it here. The article was from a website 
that someone sent me a link to. I'll find it and post the article. Then, in 
a separate posting, I'll try to post the comments to the article, though 
there might be too much of that to post in one posting. Maybe, then, I'll 
divide it into several postings.

Also, someone asked me where I found the letter that I posted as "Letter 
from a member of the public". That letter was among the comments to an 
article that I reached via a link from the electorama homepage, if I 
remember correctly. I'll find that article too, and post it, and will tell 
the URL of the article and the comments, including that person's letter (A 
letter from me is there too).
