My advice to Steve is to read all an email before comments.<br>
Cut-off were applied further building the counter-example in the part
he snipped...<br>
Of course without cut-off, the original ordering method comes back.<br>
<br>
<pre wrap="">"meaningless winners which could not get elected with SPPA in the end."</pre>
refers to the fact that the multiple-winner method will not necessarily
elect a candidate that received the most support<br>
in a district. Again, it is a matter of considering an election as a
representative exercise and not as a battle.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
Stéphane's latest example (immediately below) is very different from his
earlier example that I quoted (further below) which he tallied using a
voting method he called "Repetitive Condorcet (Ranked Pairs (Winning
Votes)) Elimination." His earlier example had no "approval cutoffs" and
his latest example appears to have no connection to Ranked Pairs or
Condorcet. Thus he hasn't provided a basis for claiming my comment was
wrong.
My advice to Stéphane for when he sobers up (just joking) is to reread
his earlier example and then provide a clear definition of the
"Repetitive Condorcet (Ranked Pairs (Winning Votes)) Elimination"
method, or a link to its definition, so we will know what voting method
he was writing about. Based on the name he gave it and from his earlier
example, it appears (to me, at least) to be the method that iteratively
eliminates the candidate ranked last by MAM until one remains.
The thrust of my comment was that since MAM satisfies Peyton Young's
LIIA criterion, it follows that MAM elects the same candidate as the
more complex voting method that iteratively eliminates the candidate
ranked last by MAM until one candidate remains. Was Stéphane claiming
this is wrong, when he wrote that my comment was wrong?
Second, I do not understand what he meant where he wrote, "meaningless
winners which could not get elected with SPPA in the end." I suspect it
is not relevant to the comment I made.

C is eliminated with 33 votes as support.
B is eliminated with 34 votes as support.
A is last eliminated but receives no rallying voters and finishes
with 33
votes as support.
B wins.

<pre wrap="">Second, as written before, scores or supports matter, not meaningless

<pre wrap="">Hi,
Assuming I'm correctly understanding a voting method Stéphane
Rouillon used in a recent message (excerpted below), which he called
"Repetitive Condorcet (Ranked Pairs(Winning Votes)) elimination," it
is unnecessarily complicated because it chooses the same winner as
Ranked Pairs(Winning Votes), which of course is simpler.
Ranked Pairs(Winning Votes), also known as MAM, satisfies H Peyton
Young's criterion Local Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives
(LIIA). One implication of LIIA is that elimination of the
last-ranked candidate(s) does not change the ranking of the remaining
candidates.
By the way, a different criterion has been masquerading as LIIA in
Wikipedia. Peyton Young defined the real LIIA in his 1994 book
Equity In Theory And Practice (if not earlier).

3 candidates A, B, C and 100 voters.
Ballots:
35: A > B > C
33: B > C > A

Repetitive Condorcet (Ranked Pairs(winning votes) ) elimination
would produce
at round 1:
68: B > C
67: A > B
Thus ranking A > B > C
C is eliminated.
at round 2:
67: A > B is the ranking
B is eliminated
at round 3:
A wins.
