Line 214:
** [Rebuttal] This can be addressed to a large extent by using a simple implementation of the [[rated pairwise preference ballot]].
* It implies failure of the [[Favorite Betrayal|Favorite Betrayal criterion]] (possibly leading to [[two-party domination]])
It has been argued that [[Condorcet methods]] may elect the CW less often than other voting methods, generally [[rated method]]<nowiki/>s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://rangevoting.org/CondStratProb.html|title=RangeVoting.org - How Condorcet voting can fail to elect Condorcet Winner|website=rangevoting.org|access-date=2020-05-05}}</ref> [[:Category:Condorcet-cardinal hybrid methods|Category:Condorcet-cardinal hybrid methods]] generally avoid this issue.
Here is one [https://www.fairvote.org/why-the-condorcet-criterion-is-less-important-than-it-seems critique] by FairVote, with some analysis/rebuttals:<blockquote>If there is a Condorcet winner, it means that he or she is preferred to every other candidate – not necessarily liked more than other candidates and not necessarily ready to represent the constituents.</blockquote>
Line 229 ⟶ 231:
<blockquote>Looking to Burlington [...] The mayor was vulnerable, but Montroll only secured 22% of first choices and only 29% when the field was reduced to three, basically failing to make the case for his candidacy to enough people. If Montroll had won due to Condorcet voting being in place, the resulting controversy in Burlington would likely have been far louder than the outcry against Kiss’s IRV victory. Having a candidate win after being in last place when the field was reduced to three would have taken a lot of explaining to voters. They might have accepted the results; more likely, they would have challenged them, particularly if they understood that Democrats would suddenly be the dominant party in mayor’s race even when failing to finish in the top two.</blockquote>
This criticism can easily be averted if the voters on either side of the Democrats simply refuse to rank the Democrats above the other side..
