Here's an idea for clone proofing Copeland: 1. First (as in Copeland) compute the pairwise win/lose matrix, which has a +1, -1, or zero in row i column j according as alternative i beats, loses to, or ties with candidate j in the (i, j) pairwise comparison. 2. Then (unlike Copeland) multiply each entry in column j by the number of first place votes received by j. 3. Finally (as in Copeland) the alternative with the greatest row sum is the winner. Forest
