==Effect on factions and candidates==
==Effect on factions and candidates==


The Borda count is vulnerable to [[Strategic nomination|teaming]]: when more candidates run with similar ideologies, the probability of one of those candidates winning increases. Therefore, under the Borda count, it is to a faction's advantage to run as many candidates in that faction as they can, creating the opposite of the [[spoiler effect]]. The teaming or "clone" effect is significant only in elections with a small number of voters. As the electorate increases, the teaming or "clone" effects decrease towards zero.
