An '''impossibility theorem''' is a theorem that takes a set of seemingly simple criteria that a voting method should adhere to, and then mathematically prove that the criteria are mutually exclusive. There are a lot of impossibility theorems in the electoral space. It would seem that the topic is a lot of fun for people who are good with math.
