Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The acronym DH3 refers to the "Dark Horse plus 3" scenario, where a candidate universally considered worst is elected due to a strategic arms race.[1] This can happen when a voting system encourages burying your "true" (strongest) opponent underneath weaker opponents. If this is the case, then in an election between three strong candidates and a weak "dark horse", the "dark horse" can win precisely because they were the weakest. Each strong candidate votes the dark horse in second place, in order to better bury the stronger opponents; and then the dark horse, with second-place support from all voters, is the strategic Condorcet winner. |
