Hello, I try to maintain a web page which explains our voting system. You can find this page at
http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~wwwstoch/voss/comp/vote.html Among other things I want to explain the reasons for our changes to the textbook version of Condorcet voting with clone-proof Schwartz sequential dropping. Currently the page states The Debian voting system differs from plain Condorcet voting in several important points. * ... * It introduces the concept of a quorum. A quorum should assert that there are no decisions without a sufficient number of electors. ... but in my opinion this description only fits for a more tradition global quorum requirement (i.e. when the whole election is cancelled if there are not enough electors). What reason should I give for the introduction of our per-option quorum? Jochen -- Omm (0)-(0) http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~wwwstoch/voss/index.html
