Interesting, that you can usually calculate the median using 1.5 bits per grade. That would seem to indicate that a 3-level Bucklin system such as MCA uses approximately all the info on the ballot. I've also noticed before that 3-level ballots have another interesting property: the differences between the Score, MJ, and Condorcet orders are all sharply limited, and it's impossible to construct pathological MJ examples like the one in the other thread where nearly all voters prefer X to Y but MJ chooses Y.<br>
