First, let's clarify that "prefer" here refers to preferences as
expressed on ballots (otherwise this criterion wouldn't be testable).
I suggest the following criterion ("In

Bucklin is sometimes described as the method which gives the win to the
candidate with the highest median rank, analogous to Borda as the method
that gives the win to the candidate with the highest average rank.
The usual version of Bucklin uses only the crude median, and then (in the

An interesting message appeared on the Instant Runoff yahoo group

Dear Richard,
suppose d[X,Y] is the number of voters who strictly prefer

I recently wrote that I believed Shulze and Tideman would fail INI.
I said I would post a demonstration if I could construct one, and I
have done that; in fact the same counterexample applies to both methods.
