<div>Thanks for the response! This is basically what I've implemented for the algorithm I called majorityJudgement, but is this the same thing as "bucklin majority judgement"? Is majority judgement already considered a Bucklin system? Or is there some variation of MJ that uses Bucklin style rounds? <br><br>Best,<br>Culi.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Jan 29, 2022, 2:56 PM by km_elmet@t-online.de:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>On 29.01.2022 19:51, culitif@tuta.io wrote:<br></div><blockquote><div>It strikes me that the current documentation on Bucklin on both<br></div><div>Wikipedia and Electowiki is really unintuitive.
