Algorithmic Asset Voting: Difference between revisions

Line 13:
Some optional assumptions are:
 
* When a negotiator is indifferent between certain outcomes (i.e. because their voters equally ranked those outcomes), they use their assets to help pick the socially best of those outcomes. As an example, if the voters cast rated ballots <blockquote>49 A5 B4 3 A5 B5 48 B5</blockquote>then treat the 3 A=B votes as preferring B, because B has the most points, giving B 51 > A 49 votes, making B the winner even though more voters actually prefer A.

'''26 A
'''26.5 C
'''26.5 D'''
21 S
 
Line 60:
If there are 51 voters who prefer Party A and 49 for Party B, then in a 5-winner election, the 49 B voters can always ensure two of their candidates are in the final winner set.

C has the most 1st choices, so A>C preferring voters could shift their votes to A, at which point no voter can improve the winner. Note that if voters had shifted their votes to B to beat C first, then some special steps would need to be applied to elect the Condorcet winner A. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/ewgjss/comment/fg2fd63</ref>
