Hmm... The problem is that "methods electing from the [[CDTT|CDTT set]]" is not specific enough. I'm responsible for that wording, of course. If you add, and count, ballots ranking all candidates equal, then this can delete CDTT wins (i.e. majority-strength wins). So the result can change in a method which explicitly finds the CDTT set. Any ideas on how to reword this? [[User:KVenzke|Kevin Venzke]] 16:22, 15 Jun 2005 (PDT) |

I don't like calling things "spoiled" when it is absolutely not clear that the thing is indeed spoiled in the common sense... [Heitzig-j]
No, I don't understand the name either. -KVenzke
Russ has just re-proposed this criterion on the mailing list as the "Blank Ballot Criterion". IMHO, that's a more reasonable name. DanBishop 13:16, 25 Jun 2005 (PDT)
Complying Methods
The article says:
- Complies: Approval voting, Cardinal Ratings, Schulze
- Fails: Median Ratings, methods electing from the CDTT set
Schulze always chooses from the CDTT set. Therefore, the above list cannot be correct. MarkusSchulze 15:49, 15 Jun 2005 (PDT)

Well, I consider election methods to be "black boxes". That means: To determine whether a given election method satisfies a given criterion, you don't need to know the used algorithm, you only need to know which candidate wins in each profile. Therefore, whether a given method satisfies a given criterion must not depend on how you describe this method. MarkusSchulze 10:09, 16 Jun 2005 (PDT)
Ok, I'll change it. Kevin Venzke 12:57, 16 Jun 2005 (PDT)
This criterion has the problem that any method can (and in my opinion should) easily dodge it by simply including a rule that "blank ballots" aren't counted. The way Woodall defines his CDTT does this, so therefore CDTT,IRV does not fail this criterion. [Chris Benham] 144.138.152.168 23:36, 11 Jul 2005 (PDT)
