== Baldwin and Nanson ==
"It follows that the only Condorcet-compliant sequential runoff method based on a weighted positional method is Baldwin"

:: Just as a technical note, IRV is often done with batch elimination, though only when this is mathematically guaranteed to give the same winner(s) as one-at-a-time elimination.

== Borda and Condorcet Winner ranking ==
<blockquote>The Borda count is the only weighted positional method that never ranks the Condorcet winner last.</blockquote>
 
Since Nanson and Baldwin pass Smith, can we rephrase this as "never ranks every member of the Smith set last"? [[User:BetterVotingAdvocacy|BetterVotingAdvocacy]] ([[User talk:BetterVotingAdvocacy|talk]]) 07:20, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
Line 17 ⟶ 21:
: For Nanson, you also need to prove that eliminating below-average Borda count members won't erase the whole Smith set in one go, so that's slightly more complicated. [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 10:06, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 
== Category ==
