The Borda count is vulnerable to [[Favorite betrayal|decapitation]]. That is, voters can help avoid the election of a less-preferred candidate by insincerely raising the position of a more-preferred candidate on their ballot.
The Borda count fails the [[favorite betrayal criterion]] and is thus vulnerable to compromising. That is, voters can help avoid the election of a less-preferred candidate by insincerely raising the position of a more-preferred candidate on their ballot. However, it is possible to modify the Borda count to pass this criterion: see [[Summed-Ranks]] for an example.


The Borda count is also vulnerable to burying. That is, voters can help a more-preferred candidate by insincerely lowering the position of a less-preferred candidate on their ballot.
