Dear participants, a few months ago, I asked whether there is an election method, that meets Local Independence from Irrelevant Alternatives and that meets the No Punishment Criterion, i.e., that guarantees, that a sincere voter is never punished for going to the polls. (If it is not possible to

About the number of Criteria, there apparently are more than I've heard of. Something called "consistency", which is conveniently met only by the method proposed by author who defined the criterion. I don't remember what Consistency is, but you can find it in the Winter quarter issue of _Journal o

I found an error in one of my last e-mails. The corrected example of my demonstration, that Bucklin violates Fishburn's "No-Show Criterion" looks as follows: Example 1: 39 voters vote A > B > C. 10 voters vote B > A > C. 51 voters vote C > A > B. Bucklin elects candidate C. Example

Wow. I'd forgotten that the new voters would change what constitutes a majority. Bucklin indeed violates No-Show. And now, before someone else tells me, I must admit that the Smith//Condorcet(EM) with subcycle rule 2 violates Pareto, and GMC. And, which is the same thing, it violates my basic dem

In answer to the questions about voters regretting that they turned out, my answer is: No, it isn't inevitable, because there are a few methods that don't have that problem. And no, it isn't patchable, where it occurs, because it's caused by method attributes that seem essential to the properties
