so I turned it into a web page: <br>

Briefly, I argue that discussions of voting methods are only <br>
meaningful if a semantics can be attached to the correctness of <br>
electoral decisions; that models (such as jury and spatial models) can <br>
provide such a semantics, leading to a Bayesian interpretation of <br>
correctness; that the logical criteria stand or fall according to <br>
whether they can be validated under a suitable semantics; that some <br>
stand, some fall, and some are best seen as statistical approximations.<br>
The topics I discuss are ones I have not seen addressed elsewhere. I <br>
have no idea how new my ideas are, or whether, if I was better grounded <br>
in the field, I'd have been able to discuss the subject with greater wisdom.<br>
