Here are my complaints:

1. The websites falsely claim that an election method
    is immune to spoilers if and only if it is guaranteed
    that adding a ballot and the reversed ballot always
    cancel each other out.

2. The websites falsely claim that the legal definition
    for equal voting says that adding a ballot and the
    reversed ballot must always cancel each other out.

3. The websites falsely claim that Arrow's Theorem
    and the Gibbard-Satterthwaite Theorem say that no
    preferential election method can guarantee that
    adding a ballot and the reversed ballot always
    cancel each other out.
