Subject: [EM] Two mathematicians propose new voting method, Majority Judgment
Message-ID: <f40a7cd1-ffd7-635a-6fb9-89766bab3bdd@aol.com>

Two French mathematicians, who say they have spent the last dozen years studying voting systems, have proposed a new method they call Majority Judgment.

This system is about as new as the pyramids. We covered this already. I even answered your question about a Score-Hybrid:

* Have score candidates on a scale of -9 to +9 skipping over 0 (this forces voters to come down 1 way or another about a candidate) and allowing them to skip candidates, with skipped candidates receiving a score of -9.
* Take the median.

Their system can lead to multiple candidates tying.
