Say in a Raynaud election the ranked ballots are 7:A>B>C 2:B>A>C 5:B>C>A 6:C>A>B
C is eliminated and A wins. But if the B>A>C voters uprank A, giving 9:A>B>C 5:B>C>A 6:C>A>B B is eliminated and C wins. So A went from winning to losing with extra support. -- Rob LeGrand, psephologist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Citizens for Approval Voting http://www.approvalvoting.org/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
