EM list-- I'd like to correct a few unimportant errors in yesterday's letters that I posted here: 1. In "equal rankings not defensively needed in Condorcet", I was probably incorrect in my #2 listed reason why equal rankings aren't a Condorcet problem. I said Blake's argument is only valid for Plain Condorcet, but actually it could be used with any method that drops smalles defeats. Any Condorcet version. But reasons #1 & #3 are still good. 2. In "Corruption & IRV, slight revision", I mistakenly spoke of the A voters voting A last, when actually, I should have instead spoken of the A voters voting A next-to-last. 3. In "Tideman vs IBCM & DCD", in case it wasn't obvious that by "beats" I meant "pairwise-beats", I should have worded a certain sentence: When Tideman & DCD pick different winners, DCD's winner usually is someone who pairwise-beats Tideman's winner.
