[??] indicates rank is approximate based on not yet fully understanding
the method
- RCIPE -- [simple, almost Condorcet, almost cloneproof]
- Benham -- [IRV but stops at pairwise winner]
- MinMax(wv) -- [best of Condorcet methods]
- RP(wv) -- [doesn't look deep enough into pairwise preferences]
- Woodall -- [good, Smith plus IRV]
...
<------ APPROVAL CUTOFF ------->
- Schwartz-Woodall -- [Woodall but harder to explain]
- Baldwin -- [Borda version of IRV, requires honesty]
- Copeland//Borda (also called Ranked Robin) -- [simple, requires
honest voting]
- Black -- [Condorcet else Borda, good but tactical vulnerability]
- Schulze -- [complex, increases other IIA failures to get zero clone
failures]
- Smith//Score -- [requires honesty]
...
- Gross Loser Elimination -- [name sounds good but never saw description]
- Max Strength Transitive Beatpath -- [??]
- Margins-Sorted Minimum Losing Votes (equal-rated whole) -- [??]
- Smith//DAC -- [complexity without significant advantage]
- Double Defeat, Hare -- [??]
...
- IRV -- ["overvotes" ignored, lowest count not always least popular,
correct ballot type]
- Majority Judgement -- [clever, requires honesty, wrong ballot type]
- STAR -- [vulnerable to nomination and voting tactics, dead-end
ballot type]
...
- Approval -- [great for friends, ok for primaries, tactical
vulnerabilities]
...
- Margins-Sorted Approval -- [??]
- Smith//Approval (explicit) -- [complexity without significant advantage]
- Smith//Approval (implicit) -- [cannot rank most-disliked below disliked]
...
- Plurality -- [we are here]
...
- Approval with manual runoff -- [two choices in "runoff" is too few!!!]
