Hi RRichie,
Thanks for contributing to the NPVIC page. That article could definitely use improvement and I hope you feel free to make additional contributions. Greg Comlish ( talk) 20:42, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
I saw in a recent edit comment of yours at the NPVIC page that Congress has 30 session days to decide on DC proposed laws, instead of 30 calendar days. Could you tell me where you got this information? The DC website does not specifically mention session days, so I was assuming calendar days...
(BTW, you may want to archive or refactor part of your talk page, this very long discussion of two years ago is probably not so relevant anymore.) KarlFrei ( talk) 10:26, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
Since I want to avoid an edit war, I think we should work out what to write to make clear that the winner of the national popular vote will become the winner of the presidency. I personally believe that "nationwide" makes intuitive sense because territories don't vote to begin with (so in a way, even if they are included, their vote totals are 0, which still makes sense, but I digress). However, I understand wanting to make abundantly clear that territories are not included, but I think the way you put it makes it less clear, as it could easily be interpreted as winning the popular vote in each of the 50 states, as well as DC.
As a solution, I propose to write something to the effect of "the presidential candidate who garners the highest vote total from votes cast in the 50 states and the District of Columbia", and, to preserve the link to the "Plurality Voting System" page, link "highest vote total" to that page. This is much less smooth, but it avoids both possible areas of confusion. Blippy1998 ( talk) 07:10, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi RRichie, due to the recent changes at the LNH article: Could you please explain (to me), what you mean by "reduction of field to one"?
Is that another characteristic of the system or just a prerequisite for the counter-example? Thx. -- Arno Nymus ( talk) 03:50, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to History and use of instant-runoff voting may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot ( talk) 12:26, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi. First, I wanted to thank you for editing ranked voting systems. I did have a question about the IRV section however. I'm not sure if you're the best person to direct it to as another editor may have made the addition. Anyway, I did have question about the following recent addition to the IRV section of that page.
"...this system fails the monotonicity criterion, where ranking a candidate first can cause that candidate to lose if this ranking allows a strong candidate to avoid being in last place and defeated."
What is meant by the underlined portions?
Sorry to be a bother, but I do hope you can shed some light on this. Fleetham ( talk) 03:50, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
