<font face="'PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif'">My last message got mangled by the server, so here goes again!<br><br>The scenario<br><br>46 A>>B>C<br>5 B>>A>C<br>5 B>>C>A<br>44 C>>B>A<br><br>suggests
that ninety percent of the voters would rationally prefer a Random
Ballot drawing over the sure election of Condorcet Candidate B.<br><br>As
for Approval; since the B voters are so evenly divided in their slight
preferences relative to A and C, the A and C supporters might
reasonably consider that each has a roughly fifty-fifty chance of
winning if they leave the decision up to B supporters. So there would
be little if any perceived advantage for approving B on very many
ballots.<br><br>However, these probability perceptions can be easily
thrown off by deceptive polls and other disinformation disseminated by
big money campaigns. This is a problem for Approval, but not for
Random Ballot. In the category of deterministic methods, it is less of
a problem for DYN (Delegable Yes/No) than for Approval, since DYN
voters can afford to take reported probabilities with a grain of salt.<br><br>Forest</font><br><br><stepjak@yahoo.fr><juho4880@yahoo.co.uk><juho4880@yahoo.co.uk><stepjak@yahoo.fr><juho4880@yahoo.co.uk><jlundell@pobox.com><davek@clarityconnect.com><stepjak@yahoo.fr><davek@clarityconnect.com><jlundell@pobox.com><stepjak@yahoo.fr><ifellows@ucsd.edu><election-methods@electorama.com><AEEFKNHKDADBAKMPJLPLKEGBCIAA.ifellows@ucsd.edu><jlundell@pobox.com><davek@clarityconnect.com><stepjak@yahoo.fr><BE27AC58-2F42-484E-A347-317FD687BE98@pobox.com> </BE27AC58-2F42-484E-A347-317FD687BE98@pobox.com></stepjak@yahoo.fr></davek@clarityconnect.com></jlundell@pobox.com></AEEFKNHKDADBAKMPJLPLKEGBCIAA.ifellows@ucsd.edu></election-methods@electorama.com></ifellows@ucsd.edu></stepjak@yahoo.fr></jlundell@pobox.com></davek@clarityconnect.com></stepjak@yahoo.fr></davek@clarityconnect.com></jlundell@pobox.com></juho4880@yahoo.co.uk></stepjak@yahoo.fr></juho4880@yahoo.co.uk></juho4880@yahoo.co.uk></stepjak@yahoo.fr>
