	Encyclopedia: Voting system
		A voting system is a process that allows a group of people to express their tolerances or preferences about a number of options, and then selects one or more of those options, typically in a way meant to satisfy many of the voters.
		Voting is best known for its use in elections and is often seen as the defining feature of democracy, where the options are candidates for public office, and the preferences of the citizens determine who gets to hold those offices.
		Votes are transferred between candidates in a manner similar to instant runoff voting, but in addition to transferring votes from candidates who are eliminated, votes are also transferred from candidates who already have a quota.

	The History of IRV
		The key the to the development of instant runoff voting (IRV) was the invention of the single transferable vote (STV) in the 1850's by Thomas Hare in England and Carl Andrae in Denmark.
		The essence of STV is the concept that a citizen would have one vote in a particular contest, but that that vote might be transferred from one candidate to another according to each voter’s ranking of candidates, depending on the aggregate result of other voters’ ballots.
		With Bucklin voting, most voters refrained from giving second choices, and the intent of discovering which candidate was favored by a majority of voters was thwarted.

	Preferential voting - Electowiki
		Ballot design or voting machine instructions are particularly important in such systems, as each voter is expected to express a rather complex set of tolerances or preferences in each vote.
		A potential problem with preferential votes is that they can be used to undermine a secret ballot, and thus enable corruption by vote buying.
		To ease this onerous task, "Above the line" voting, allows the voter to choose one party or group, and all the remaing squares are deemed to be filled in according to a registered party ticket.

		Voting is often seen as the defining feature of democracy, and is best known for its use in elections — but it can also be used to award prizes, to select between different plans of action, or as a means for computer programs to evaluate which solution is best for a complex problem.
		A voting system may select only one option (usually a candidate), in which case it is called a "single winner system", or it may select multiple options, for example candidates to fill an assembly.
		Voting systems can be abstracted as mathematical functions that select between choices based on the utility of each option for each voter.

	IRV encourages sincere voting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		With our existing system, some voters struggle with the decision of whether to vote for the candidate they actually prefer, or whether to vote for a perceived "lesser" candidate who may have a better chance of winning for fear of inadvertently helping the candidate the voters like the least.
		Various preference voting systems other than IRV, examined by this Commission, such as approval voting, Bucklin voting, and at-large multi-seat voting (actually a multi-vote no-preference system) suffer a similar problem of insincere tactical voting.
		Voters who honestly express their second or subsequent choices on their ballots may be penalized since those alternate-choice votes may cause the defeat of their most preferred candidates.

		Voting systems are methods (algorithms) for groups of people to select one or more options from many, taking into account the individual preferences of the group members.
		Voting is best known for its use in elections and is often seen as the defining feature of democracy, where citizen preferences are used to determine the composition of government.
		For instance, certain voting systems such as First Past the Post, Schulze, or Borda count can be tallied in one distributed step, others such as Instant-Runoff require centralization, and others such as multi-round runoff require multiple polling rounds.

		I believe that the Condorcet Method could be conceived of as a paired runoff of all candidates against all others in a series of one-on-one runoffs with the winner of the most runoffs being the over-all winner.
		This effect can cause a voter who votes for someone sheorhe views as a "White Hat" to inadvertantly cause a candidate whom sheorhe views as a "Grey Hat" to lose to one that sheorhe sees as a dreaded "Black Hat," because the option to vote for the "Gray Hat" is thereby lost.
		If you study voting systems enough, you will find that the only systems that allow voters to avoid the "Black Hat trap" (spoiler effect) are the ones that give them the option of casting same-ranked votes for multiple candidates (approval voting).
