AN EXAMINATION OF RANKED CHOICE VOTING IN THE UNITED STATES, 2004-2022 ADAM GRAHAM-SQUIRE AND DAVID MCCUNE

RCV is susceptible to compromise strategic voting

Compromise Voting Failure: Compromise voting is a form of strategic voting in which some voters calculate that their favorite candidate cannot win and so insincerely rank another candidate as their first choice. This plays out regularly in plurality elections, where voters often cast a vote for a candidate perceived as viable instead of voting for their favorite. Generalizing the definition from (Green- Armytage, 2014), we say that an election demonstrates a compromise voting failure if there exists a losing candidate A and a set of ballots such that A is ranked above the original RCV winner, and A becomes the RCV winner if we shift them up to the first ranking on these ballots. That is, this failure occurs if there exists a set of voters who should have cast a “compromise vote” for A, thereby causing A to win. The definition in (Green-Armytage, 2014) is much more restrictive: they consider only elections in which shifting A to the top of all ballots on which A is ranked over the original RCV winner turns A into the winner. -- unsigned comment by User:Masiarek - unknown timestamp (UTC)

User:Masiarek - could you avoid creating new articles when you're on a video call with me, and can ask me about it? Also, if you're going to make a large quotation of a paper, can you put a link to it in your citation? (e.g.: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.12075 ) Thanks in advance! -- RobLa (talk) 01:04, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
