Proportionality Guarantees of Allocated Score (approvals)

[Andy Dienes]

@marylander I'm not sure I quite understand the example. Won't Allocated Score in this instance also give ABAB? And even still, I think ABAC is not entirely unreasonable (although I agree it is probably worse)

@andy-dienes Sorry I actually didn't mean to post that. I had it saved in drafts but hadn't fully worked out the example. I should probably check to make sure that other drafts of mine didn't get posted by mistake.

Edit: Yeah I think all of my drafts were posted because of some glitch with the mobile website.

@marylander said in Proportionality Guarantees of Allocated Score (approvals):

That would be useful. How do you decide whom to give weight back to? Is it even across the ballots?

I sent you an email. Let me know if you don't get it.

another way to look at the difference between EPA and AS (at least, on approval ballots) is that EPA spends ballot power such the variance in amount spent per utility gain is exactly minimized, and AS spends ballot power such that the variance in amount spent per utility is exactly maximized. Despite their similarities, in that respect they represent two ends of an extreme.
