Is the only distinction from DSC tied rankings?

This system sounds like it's the same as DSC, except acquiescing requires A >= B, whereas DAC requires A > B.

If this is correct, should the two articles be merged?

Procedurally, the only difference in the coalition support numbers arise from how truncated and equal-ranked ballots are handled. But this difference is what makes one of them pass LNHelp and the other pass LNHarm. They're thus procedurally similar but behave differently, and Woodall considers them to be separate methods, so I'd be inclined to keep them as two separate articles on Electowiki. On Wikipedia? I guess not - see my comment on Talk:River. Kristomun (talk) 21:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
