[EM] Proportional Condorcet Voting

[Alex Small]

It's not a question of whether the method can be quickly worked out by a computer.  It's a question of whether the method is transparent enough for an average voter to look at a small set of data and quickly work out who the proper winner is.

Yes, the objections to Condorcet proposals based on computational 
intractability are pretty silly, based only on a theoretical idea 
that all possible rankings will exist in the ballot population. But 
the ballot population is a limited set, with almost certainly a high 
degree of reduncancy. Systems that require all voters to rank all 
candidates make it worse, to be sure, but even that will have a lot 
of redundancy in it.
