Line 148:
It may be possible to make AAV always elect proportionally from Droop semi-solid coalitions. If so, then this may greatly speed up computation of the result, as only winner sets that satisfy all semi-solid coalitions need be considered; discovering semi-solid coalitions can be done by checking ballots and observing which candidates are ranked higher than others and by which voters. <ref>https://www.removeddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/euiup2/a_new_pr_concept_of_semisolid_coalitions/</ref> Semi-solid coalitions may overlap.
It's important to keep in mind that when discussing coalitions in the context of voter preferences as recorded on ballots, the loosest possible definition would be groups of voters who mutually prefer at least one candidate above at least one other candidate, though there may be disagreement on other candidates. Thus, even if the only thing two groups of voters have in common is that they mutually rank some candidate last, they are still a coalition in the sense that they mutually prefer all other candidates to that last-ranked candidate.
