I'm wondering what the verdict is on using Borda as the tie breaker for deciding within the Schwartz Set. Some of the strongest Condorcet advocates on this list feel that Borda is actually superior to Condorcet *if* it can be ensured that only sincere voting is going on. So if Borda is used only as a tiebreaker (which would only be rarely needed), then there wouldn't be an incentive to use insincere techniques that would normally work with Borda.
Or if not Borda, some other cardinal system. You'd only look ordinally for Condorcet, and then use the cardinal calculations for the tiebreaker within the Schwartz Set.
