    ABC voting and BTR-Score are the single best methods by VSE I've ever seen.

          Does anyone know if BTR-Score is immune to turkey-raising / DH3?

            Good question. According to Electowiki:

            Methods that pass dominant mutual third burial resistance [DMTBR] provide no incentive to bury under a dark horse.

            Following the argument here it is clear that BTR-score fails DMTBR

            In election (A) and (B) A wins. In (D) the winner is C, but in (E) the winner is A again. (I assumed score from 0 to 2.)

            where A is the CW, and so (E)->(D) is a DMTBR failure.

            But this does not exclude the possibilty that the score part reduces the strategic incentive to bury.

              How should ABC voting treat unmarked candidates?

                @jack-waugh I think anything except the minimum for unmarked candidates makes it too easy to mark bullet burials. But I don’t know.

                score-stratified-condorcet [10] cardinal-condorcet [9] ranked-condorcet [8] score [7] approval [6] ranked-bucklin [5] star [4] ranked-irv [3] ranked-borda [2] for-against [1] distribute [0] choose-one [0]
