River is a cloneproof monotonic [[Condorcet_method#Different_ambiguity_resolution_methods|Condorcet ambiguity resolution method]] with similarities to both [[Ranked Pairs]] and [[Cloneproof Schwartz Sequential Dropping]], but when cycles exist, can in rare cases find a different winner than either of the other two methods.
It was first proposed by [[User:Heitzig-j|Jobst Heitzig]] on the [[Election-methods mailing list]]:
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-April/012666.html First proposal]
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-April/012671.html slight refinement]
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-October/013971.html More concise definition]. In this last version, River is defined very similarly to ranked pairs.
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-October/014102.html Example using 2004 baseball scores]. This shows how a 14-candidate election winner can be determined much more quickly using River than with RP or Beatpath.
