ERIRV(whole) meets WDSC. Surprisingly, ERIRV(fractional) seems to also.
ERIRV(fractional) fails FBC. ERIRV(whole) probably fails it too.
Bucklin meets WDSC, SDSC, & Participation.
Using consistent naming, ERBucklin(whole) meets WDSC, SDSC, Participation, and maybe FBC.
If so, that contradicts what I've always said about Approval & CR being the only methods that meet FBC.
Also, I've always said that Approval is a close 2nd, after Condorcet. But Bucklin & ERBucklin(whole) appear to be between Approval & Condorcet in merit.
But, because counting computers are available for public political elections, there's no reason to count rankings other than by the best way: Condorcet, by which I mean wv SSD or wv RP.
