<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Part 3:<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Part 2 didn’t send. I wrote it on my phone, & it failed to send.
Hopefully a copy will be returned to me, so that I can try again to send it.
But I’m writing this Part 3 on the desk-computer, so that I can save it in
Word, so that, whatever happens with unsuccessful sending, I’ll have it to
resend.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Approval-Advantages continued:<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Let’s talk about enactment:<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The incomparably easier implementation makes Approval much more enactable.
Let me say more about easy implantation: Approval can be implemented with no
new balloting-equipment, & also without even any software-modifications.
Here’s a way:<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The existing Plurality-count software is designed for collecting<span> </span>a single vote in a race. So tell the
count-program that there are many 2-way races (one for each candidate). The
ballot has a line for each candidate’s name & voting-bubble. But,
alternating with those lines, are blank lines, where the count-program expects
votes for the nonexistent other candidate in the fictitious 2-way race.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">So, when the counting is done, the count-program will report the results for
all those fictitious 2-way races, including 0 for each of the vote-totals for
the nonexistent opponents, & also the vote-totals for each actual
candidate.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">In that way, the existing Plurality count-software will give the totals for
each actual candidate, summed over all the ballots. <span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">So that’s why I said that Approval can be implemented at zero cost. No
software modification needed.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Now, what does FairVote (under various names) have to show for its 35 years
of expensively promoting IRV (under various names)?<span> </span>Two states & some cities.<span> </span><span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Two states.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Sorry, but I don’t call that success. Sure, if the people of Oregon &
Nevada have been well-enough deceived, there could be two more states this
year. But 4 out of 50 sounds more like failure for a 35-year effort.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">If Approval had been the proposal over that period, it would be in use in
all 50 states by now.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Critreria:<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Just as an added bonus:<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Approval passes several criteria that Condorcet fails:<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Participation, Consistency, & IIAC (all without loss of Pareto).<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I don’t include FBC, because Condorcet’s FBC-failure that we discussed at EM
a long time ago is so rare as to be strategically-irrelevant.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">If burial is a problem, then FBC-failure comes back when we need
favorite-burying drastic defenses to try to protect CW from burial. But the wv
Condorcet-versions are so burial-deterrent, in 2 separate ways (Minimal-Defense
& autodeterrence*), that burial can be ignored when voting.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">*Even without any defensive-truncation, burial’s backfire is 10 times more
likely than its success.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[Conclusion of this short Part 3]<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">If Part 2 hasn’t been sent yet, & doesn’t automatically get sent,
hopefully a copy will be returned to me, & I’ll then send it along.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">…<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I have to say that, from now on, anything long will be written in word on
the desktop computer instead of on the phone, for safekeeping of long messages
in case they fail to send & are lost.<span></span></p>
