Here it is folks, the one we've been waiting for: http://www.ci.burlington.vt.us/ct/elections/
A real live IRV election, run last Tuesday, and different methods give different results. The raw data can be downloaded here: http://www.burlingtonvotes.org/20060307/ I've adapted the data and run it through my counting software to get this: http://two.bolson.org/a.html I should run it through more of the systems I've implemented. Maybe I'll do that tonight. Anyway, I've collapsed the voting data to one file here: http://two.bolson.org/20060308BurlingtonVT.nameeq.bz2 It's in a url-encoded format "name one=3&name two=1" etc. That's been modified to be ratings in a sorta borda fashion; in this case 6 - ranking.
