for future reference: notes on voting systems

http://auros.livejournal.com/221026.html

A discussion of voting systems, focused mainly on detailed explorations of why IRV is a bad idea, but with a number of other topics as well.

Some visualizations of simulations of the effects of voting systems in a number of different circumstances. I haven't spent enough time thinking about the underlying assumptions, but if they're reasonably valid, it sure makes IRV (Instant Runoff Voting) look bizarre.
