[Not subscribed; please CC me on responses.] Does anyone have Smith Set, Schwartz Set, IRV, and STV (2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) results for the HIL files here: https://rangevoting.org/TidemanData.html I get the following for A1 with Meek-STV (precision = 9, seats = 3): Tabulation completion data: 0.0000000000 Candidate 2 defeated 156.7058824400000000000 Candidate 9 elected 0.0000000000 Candidate 7 defeated 135.9776274220000000000 Candidate 1 elected 0.0000000000 Candidate 5 defeated 0.0000000000 Candidate 6 defeated 0.0000000000 Candidate 8 defeated 131.1851762120000000000 Candidate 3 elected 0.0000000000 Candidate 4 defeated 0.0000000000 Candidate 10 defeated Notes: The next step is to follow the debugger step by step and straighten out the logic (it gives an odd report with 2 candidates), and then clean up the remaining refactoring artifacts (the constructor for a tabulator has number of seats as an argument—so does the Tabulate() call). Right now, the tabulator computes IRV (broken by vote splitting, not recommended), Tideman's Alternative (recommended), and Meek-STV (recommended). It does not compute: - MNTV (non-representative, not recommended) - Approval (non-representative, inherently tactical and voter-risk-behavior based, not recommended) - Range voting methods (subject to an amplification of the Approval voting problem, but can be computed as ranked by flattening) - Plurality (broken by vote splitting, not recommended) - STV rules without surplus pass-through (broken by Woodall free riding, not recommended) - Schulze STV (resists Hylland free riding, recommended) Code is available here: https://github.com/jrmoserbaltimore/libdemocrav This is pre-alpha work. Thanks in advance. —John

Well then. https://github.com/jrmoserbaltimore/libdemocrav/blob/refactor/UnitTests/resources/testcases/HistoricElections.simpletabulatortest "smith set" is the smith set. "schwartz set" is valid when the smith set and schwartz set differ. When the smith or schwartz set are 1, a tabulator can test itself as "condorcet-smith" or "condorcet-schwartz" Other valid types of results are "tideman's alternative" (if schwartz = 1, elect; else eliminate non-smith, runoff 1, repeat); "tideman's alternative smith" (elects by smith set = 1); "tideman's alternative schwartz" (schwartz set elimination); and "meek-stv". This is an extremly basic outcome format. The json format.. I can't parse yet.
