Revision as of 01:10, 16 February 2021
On February 15, 2021, the election-methods mailing list is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
The first message
Subject: New "election-methods" list
From: Rob Lanphier [1]
Date: Thu Feb 15 21:34:05 PST 1996
To: [elections-reform, election-methods]
I'm starting up an "election-methods-list" list to discuss single-winner reform, the relative merits of different PR systems, and the technical underpinnings of all election methods. This list is intended to compliment, not to replace, the existing "elections-reform" list.
Please continue to discuss the various electoral reform movements in the U.S. and throughout the world in the "elections-reform" list. "elections-reform" is still the best forum for discussing strategies used in reform campaigns, specific legislation addressing reform, and educational material about reform.
What is the difference, you ask? "election-methods-list" discussions will most likely be more technical in nature, with the ultimate goal of providing recommendations and educational material to the members of "elections-reform". There have been complaints in the past that discussions on "elections-reform" have been too technical, and "election-methods-list" has been created to offload the more prolific technical discussions to "elections-reform". It lets folks use "elections-reform" to stay abreast of current activity in electoral reform without fear of their inbox exploding.
To subscribe to "election-methods-list", send mail to majordomo at eskimo.com with no subject line (any subject will be ignored), and the following one line in the body of your message:
subscribe election-methods-list
My apologies to anybody who stumbled on the web page that I set up a week
ago at http://www.eskimo.com/~robla/cpr/election-methods.html and tried
to subscribe (and failed, because the list didn't exist yet). In the time I
was waiting for the list to get set up, I set up the web page.
Everything should *now* work according to the instructions on that page.
That's all there is to it. Let me know if you have any questions about
the new list.
Thanks,
Rob Lanphier
