@andy-dienes said in An argument against committee monotonicity:

There are rules which are committee monotone which will elect AC (e.g. SAV)

That means that SAV elects C for k=1, which is definitely illogical. As for MES, part of that might be because it's a little unclear for which values of x the following generalization should elect AC instead of BC:

A (1-x)/2
AB x/2 - epsilon
BC x/2 + epsilon
C (1-x)/2

All-at-once d'Hondt PAV elects AC for x < 2/3. I think my argument is more persuasive if x is closer to (but still more than) 1/2, and epsilon is small compared to x-1/2.

@last19digitsofpi Hey Last19digitsofpi. (8473645284273355832 if I remember correctly?)

Welcome. Glad you come in peace. Peace is good, so don't be stirring the shit. 🙂

Kidding. Precinct summability has some practical value I suppose, but other things are far more important. I'm not all that into PR but others obviously are. (I tend to think that improving single winner methods is a lower hanging fruit, at least in the US)

My big emphasis is "voting on voting methods" (eat our own dogfood, create consensus, etc) and creating useful Codepens for tabulating and visualizing. So if you know javascript, then double-welcome!
