[EM] New MN court affidavits by those defending non-Monotonicvoting methods

[Kathy Dopp]

Stephane,

You are confusing the spoiler effect with monotonicity.

Plurality voting is ALWAYS monotonic.

Neither IRV or plurality solve the spoiler problem.

Both are susceptible to strategizing. I don't know any voting method
that is not.

Does anyone have anything helpful to add?
