<BR>
IF Number Votes are to be deemed YES in a table, then there should be a reverse columns NO table -- esp. for checking math purposes.<BR>
<BR>
Example<BR>
YES [left to right]<BR>
26 AB<BR>
25 BA<BR>
49 Z<BR>
100<BR>
<BR>
NO [right to left]<BR>
26 Z<BR>
25 Z<BR>
49 A+B<BR>
100<BR>
<BR>
Z should obviously lose.<BR>
<BR>
Should A then beat B ???<BR>
---- 26 to 25 (assuming none of the Z voters vote for the lesser evils of A or B -- noting the 51 A/B majority group.<BR>
------------<BR>
Which brings up --<BR>
Should voters be required to put a Number Vote on ALL choices - both YES and NO ???<BR>
<BR>
Thus YES votes left of *, NO votes right of *<BR>
26 AB*Z<BR>
25 BA*Z<BR>
30 Z*BA<BR>
19 Z*AB<BR>
100<BR>
<BR>
Thus - does 26 A YES (+19 NO) beat 25 B YES (+30 NO) ???<BR>
<BR>
Noting again that some of the Z minority voters may vote YES on A or B.<BR>
----<BR>
Which brings up -- whether a NO minority should be able to determine the lesser of its perceived evils in the YES majority ???<BR>
<BR>
i.e. Should B 55 (YES+NO) beat A 45 (YES+NO) ???</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"></FONT></HTML>
