Jameson:<br><br>You said that the F-preferring voters could let G win by merely approving both F and G. <br><br>But maybe only a subset of the F voters are willing to try to keep G from losing. Then, those few might need<br>to vote for G and not for F, in order to keep F from beating G in the initial ballots-only Approval count.<br><br>Your arguments depended on the words "probably" and "unlikely". You'd assure voters that<br>"You probably won't regret not burying your favorite". With compromise-cowed voters (such as those<br>in our public political elections), "probably" just don't cut it.<br><br>In Condorcet, you probably won't regret not burying your favorite. It would be unlikely. And yet (as I've said)<br>I've observe a lesser-of-2-evils Democrat-voter bury under all of the Democrat candidates, the candidate whose<br>policies she prefers to those of the Democrats.<br><br>No, as I said, it's necessary to assure voters that it's entirely impossible for them to get a worse result because they<br>didn't bury their favorite.<br><br>Mike Ossipoff<br><br> </div></body>
