I took the raw data from the site Brian Olson posted and ended up with a slightly different pairwise table:
(0) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (0) - 5545 6747 3991 6790 7336 (1) 3556 - 5165 3397 5136 5875 (2) 1161 1289 - 804 2028 3290 (3) 4763 5730 6961 - 7027 7351 (4) 987 1318 1869 603 - 3094 (5) 323 311 431 194 510 - (0) Hinda Miller (1) Kevin J. Curley (2) Louie The Cowman Beaudin (3) Bob Kiss (4) Loyal Ploof (5) Write-ins It's identical to the one at http://two.bolson.org/a.html except for the first column: I have Hinda Miller with many more votes against her. I've looked for errors in my results but haven't found the problem. If I'm right, the Condorcet winner changes from Miller to Bob Kiss, the IRV winner. I think finding a real-world election in which IRV failed to elect the voted Condorcet candidate would be quite significant, so I'm hoping my results are wrong, but they do seem more consistent with the final round of the real IRV election (although they're still off by a handful of ballots). It'd be great if someone else could take the raw data from the election page and triple-check the results independently. Regardless of the result, thanks to Brian for pointing this out. -- Rob LeGrand, psephologist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Citizens for Approval Voting http://www.approvalvoting.org/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
