I’m having a hard time following, can you give an example?
I’m saying that Borda allows voters to give one candidate 5 points, one other 4 points, etc. and score would allow voters to give as many candidates 5 points, as many candidates 4 points, etc.
- wnoise 4y agoI'm objecting to the statement that they're equivalent if you forbid ties. This is only true when you have as many candidates as score slots.
- clolege 4y ago> It's only equivalent if you pick an integer scale [K, K+N] with N candidates, K arbitrary. or [0, K], K arbitrary. because you can give multiple candidates the same amount of support in Borda if it is 0.
