Does anyone have any references of academic papers that talk about the
relationship between the honest CW and the honest Range winner? Ie,
when are they necessarily the same or not?
ya know, i still wonder why these guys continue to say that Range/Score
does a better job of electing the CW than does a condorcet-compliant
method. the information collected from voters is not the same. you
could be ranking
Ghandi > MotherTeresa > Stalin > Satan
and it would make no more difference than if it was 4 candidates, all
you really liked nearly equally well. but for Score it makes a big
difference in how you score it.
how are these apples and oranges compared? what assumptions are made in
translating ranked-ballot data to score-ballot data?
i don't see how you can talk about the relationship from Condorcet to
Score without making some assumptions. though there *is* a simple and
direct inverse relationship.
