Ok, then, as usually defined, MMPO does what that example shows it doing. But, <BR>
with an initial CW search, it does very much like PC.<BR>
.<BR>
><I>From the criteria standpoint, MMPO was attractive because it satisfied weak FBC<BR></I>> as well as Later-no-harm. It also satisfies SFC, and in the three-candidate case,<BR>> it won't fail SDSC.<BR>. <BR>I'd forgotten that MMPO (and maybe PC?) could fail SDSC in larger elections. I've been<BR>
away for quite a while.<BR>

<BR>
Certainly. Defensive truncation is what thwarts offensive order-reversal so well<BR>
in the wv methods and in MMPO.<BR>
