Here's my question: do you count Copeland as a pathological method? I quite liked Copeland when I first learned about it but I quickly realized that it frequently produces times, and then later I learned about the clones issue. I think Copeland (especially if there's a runoff to resolve ties) is probably superior to any non-Condorcet method I've heard of including STAR and approval, but I'd like to to hear from someone that understands voting methods better than I do.</div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small">Cheers,</div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small">Daniel</div></div>
