I would think that if votes are sincere, the best voting method would not be Condorcet at all. It would be for each voter to assign a number of points to each candidate representing the utility they ascribe to that candidate. The candidate with the largest total utility would win. This method has obvious advantages over Condorcet: it is simpler and takes advantage of more information from the voters. Of course, it is trivially vulnerable to insincere voters. -- Andrew - ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
