I'm not knowledgeable, but I think that the evaluation happens in two steps: 1) verify that each option defeats FD with its majority requirement, drop the other options 2) determine the outcome using the remaining options I can't see why it would be harmful to vote 7123456, if you really prefer options 2,3,4,5,6 in that order. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
