Is it possible to do FPTP and IRV with rated pairwise? Fundamentally, you'd have to be limited to giving only your 1st choice(s) any rated pairwise support at a given point, and the main question is whether or not, with such a constraint, Condorcet cycles can still occur. Cycles can't occur when voters are assumed to give their 1st choices maximum pairwise preference over all other candidates (and no support to any other candidates), but could that change if voters give weak preferences in some matchups in favor of their 1st choice? Also, supposing no intransitivity, how should a voter's vote change, if at all, between rounds in IRV? |

Here is an example of a situation where, if voters are assumed to normalize their scores, it is possible to justify a non-majoritarian winner even with only ranked preferences: suppose there are very many voters, with there being a majority faction only one voter larger than an opposing minority faction. The majority's preference is A>B>C>etc. while the minority bullet votes B. In this case, B would almost guaranteeably win in Score under the above assumptions, even if decimal scores were allowed, so long as the majority's preference for B was non-infinitesimal, since this would cut into their ability to express their A>B preference. |
