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)
"Whereas Satterthwaite's version only applies to ordinal voting systems, Gibbard's version applies to all deterministic voting systems, including non-ordinal ones. Combining Gibbard's version and a remark made by Satterthwaite" ... gives us G-S? Or Gibbard's theorem is a separate one from G-S? https://politics.stackexchange.com/a/14245Psephomancy (talk) 19:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
