If two voters rank A=B, the effect should be the same as if one ranked A>B and the other ranked B>A.
If you want this behavior then you have to use Margins.
Sez WHO?
Sez anybody. You get this behavior by using Margins or half-votes (which are the same thing). You can't by using WV.
Here's an example.
Election 1 1 A>B 1 A>B 1 B>A
Election 2 1 A>B 1 A=B 1 A=B
With Margins, A beats B in both elections with strength 1. With half-votes, it is strength 2.
With WV, in election 1 A beats B with strength 2, while in election 2, A beats B with strength 1.
So Margins treated A>B and B>A the same as two A=B, while WV did not.
Ok, so sez Kevin - but we knew that already. Who else?
