Another option would be something proportional completion of the ballots/ If the votes are
A: 50 B: 30 C: 20 Assume, B is preferred to C by 3/5 (30/(20+30)) of the A voters 30: A>B>C 20: A>C>B Assume, A preferred to C by 5/7 (50/(50+20))of B supporters 21: B>A>C 9: B>C>A Assume, B preferred to A by 3/8 (30/(50+30)) of C supporters 12: C>A>B 8: C>B>A This gives the right proportions of first choice votes. Ofc, it assumes that second choices follow the first choices, and I have no idea what the strategic incentives are. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
