[EM] Poll ballot

[Kristofer Munsterhjelm]

Here's my ballot so far. This turned out to be incredibly hard and I'm 
not entirely satisfied with the order, but, on the other hand, I can't 
think of a better one, and the deadline is in 10 hours, so better put 
*something* out there.

The main problem, I think, is that so much is context dependent. Do you 
want max quality and the voters aren't too strategic? Use RP or Schulze. 
Is strategy a problem? Use Condorcet-IRV. Is complexity a problem? 
Smith//Approval or Smith//Range. Does it have to look like an 
elimination method? Benham, Raynaud or Baldwin. Etc.

As is often the case, the middle is the hardest to pin down. And as 
always, no slight intended against the designers or proposers of methods 
I've ranked low.

With all that said:

1. Ranked Pairs
2. Schulze
2. Benham

4. Woodall
5. Minmax (wv)

Approval cutoff --> ============ <-- Approval cutoff

9. Smith//Range

10. Raynaud (Gross Loser Elimination)
11. Baldwin

(13th place is for methods I'm not familiar enough with.)
13. Double Defeat, Hare
13. Max Strength Transitive Beatpath
13. Margins-Sorted Minimum Losing Votes (equal-rated whole)
13. Margins-Sorted Approval

17. Copeland//Borda

19. Approval + runoff
20. STAR
