IIRC the adoption of Condorcet voting predates that web site; your best bet would be to go through the mailing list archives and find the discussions that led to the constitution (which predate my involvement in the project, IIRC). As for the system's complexity, at least from the voter's standpoint, if voters are incapable of rank-ordering their own preferences I have to wonder how they manage to get along in life... :-) Chris -- Chris Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.lordsutch.com/chris/ Computer Systems Manager, Physics and Astronomy, Univ. of Mississippi 125B Lewis Hall - 662-915-5765 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
