Because Approval, like WV, is directly interested in how many voters vote a certain way, while Margins uses an indirect measure. For a criterion, consider votes-only Minimal Defense: When more than half of the voters rank X above Y and don't rank Y above anyone (and, I assume, they approve X and don't approve Y), RAV never elects Y, just as WV won't elect Y. So I guess Margins is "more fair" (Russ' sense) than RAV. Kevin Venzke __________________________________________________________________ Découvrez le nouveau Yahoo!
