Then the population could be told that the election will select a Condorcet Winner if one exists, and if not, one of the tiebreaking methods would be selected randomly. It would be better if they all met the Smith or Schwartz criteria.


It remove the motivation for targetted tactical voting if there was always a chance the tactical voting would backfire.

I'm not sure what you main by *targeted* tactical voting, but if a candidate has no chance of being the Condorcet winner, then that candidate's chances are improved by creating a cycle if the cycle is resolved randomly.
