I redirected Gibbard's theorem here though I've heard they're actually different? (Gibbard had multiple theorems?) But I'm not sure. — Psephomancy (talk) 03:46, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes. G-S is about ranked methods. Gibbard's theorem shows that you can't escape the conclusions simply by making your method cardinal. See the introductory paragraph at w:Gibbard–Satterthwaite_theorem. Kristomun (talk) 09:17, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
