Well, my "improved Condorcet Approval" method does not suffer from favorite betrayal incentive. Its main shortcoming relative to DMC is that I don't recommend an explicitly-placed approval cutoff under ICA. http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/ICA > I also had noted Heitzig was pushing DFC not DMC despite being named as DMC's > inventor. > However, Heitzig is denying paternity. Looking through the EM archives, I find that this is the history of DMC: Sep 1, 2003: I suggested it as an alternative to Smith//Approval. http://listserver.dreamhost.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2003-September/010799.html Nov 4, 2004: I suggested it as a rule to be used in conjunction with a method I came up with to more easily hand-count three-slot ballots. http://listserver.dreamhost.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-November/014115.html Jobst criticized this method because in a three-candidate cycle, the approval winner is not necessarily the winner. Also, when you rank A>B and approve both, this can contribute to the strength of the reverse defeat B>A. Jobst criticized that this would make it difficult to convince people to vote. http://listserver.dreamhost.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-November/014127.html Mar 5, 2005: Russ Paielli brought the method up again as being a good public proposal. He referred to my 2003 post. http://listserver.dreamhost.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-March/014955.html http://listserver.dreamhost.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-March/015066.html by Mar 17: The name "DMC" was suggested by Forest, and generally accepted. http://listserver.dreamhost.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-March/015181.html Kevin Venzke ___________________________________________________________________________ Appel audio GRATUIT partout dans le monde avec le nouveau Yahoo!
